Enhancing Chatbot Functionality with Custom Tools and Webhooks

🛠️ Custom tools allow for the addition of custom functionality to Flowise chatbots.

🔗 Api endpoints like webhooks can be called to perform specific actions in the chatbot.

💻 Creating a custom tool involves adding agents, models, and memory nodes in Flowise.

📌 Creating a custom tool in Flowise can be done by either clicking on 'create new' in the tools tab or through the Flowise dashboard.

📌 When creating a tool, it is important to provide a name, description, and output schema for the tool.

📌 The tool's output schema defines the input parameters that the code expects to receive.

✅ Custom tools can be used to add logic to a function and return a value to the chatbot.

📝 JavaScript statements in the function should end with a semicolon.

🔧 The Custom Tool node in the chat flow can be used to select and use specific tools.

➕ The chatbot is able to extract and process input from the user, such as adding items to a to-do list.

🔁 The chatbot can respond to user input and provide feedback on the actions performed.

🚫 Negative tests can be conducted to check for certain scenarios or failures in the tool.

⚙️ Restart Flowise after making changes to the tools.

🔍 Web hooks can be used to add items to Google spreadsheets.

📝 An API endpoint needs to be called to perform initial setup.

🔗 Values from the API endpoint can be mapped to columns in a spreadsheet.

The tutorial demonstrates how to create custom tools, use OpenAI functions, and utilize webhooks in Flowise AI.

The video shows the process of mapping columns and renaming scenarios in Flowise, as well as toggling switches and saving changes.

The code in Flowise is finalized by removing unnecessary commands, replacing URLs, changing methods, and adding body properties.

✨ Custom Tools allows users to create tools that call other chat flows.

📝 Making changes to the tools requires restarting Flowise.

✔️ Custom tools can add items to a Google sheet and a to-do list.
