[C4GT Community]: Create additional adapters for the UCI framework to enable multiple channel communication

[omkar309]

Ticket Contents

Description

The UCI system in BharatSahAIyak provides a completely pluggable interface to integrate any provider (Gupshup, Netcore, Firebase, etc.) + channel (Whatsapp, Telegram, Discord, etc.) combination as long as there is an adapter to support it. The current system enables communication with:

• Gupshup + Whatsapp (2 way)
• Discord + Discord (1 way)
• Telegram + Telegram (2 way)
• Pwa + Pwa (2 way)

Where the former is the provider and the latter is the channel.
We need to create more adapters that would help UCI system to integrate with much more channels.

Here is the updated package that can be used for new adapters:

Adapters repository.

Goals

• Implement two way comms on discord.
• Implement two way comms for slack.
• Implement two way comms for email.
• Enable complex message types like audio, image and button choices etc.
• The adapters should include unit tests for each case.

Expected Outcome

Once the adapters are created, the UCI system should be able to seamlessly integrate with new channels such that, the rest of the system remains same.

Acceptance Criteria

• Two way communication working on Discord (Messages can be sent from channel to UCI as well as from UCI to channel)
• Two way communication working on Slack.
• Implement two way comms for email.
• Complex messages are working.
• All providers are unit tested.

Implementation Details

The adapters are written in Typescript and all implement one of 4 defined provider types. The implementation only needs two functions (one for 1 way comms and other for 2 way comms) defined in the interfaces to create a working adapter.
