Service Overview

Primary Responsibility

Homepage Engagement Chatbot: Powers the interactive virtual assistant on MachineAgents.ai homepage with advanced greeting personalization and lead capture.

Key Uniqueness

This service is fundamentally different from the 3D/Text/Voice response services:

  1. ✅ Homepage-Specific: Dedicated to machineagents.ai landing page (NOT customer chatbots)
  2. ✅ Eva the Sales Assistant: Fixed personality ("Eva") for sales/lead generation
  3. ✅ Advanced Greeting Management: 4 greeting types with UTM personalization
  4. ✅ No RAG/Embeddings: Uses pure GPT-4 without knowledge base
  5. ✅ Lead Collection: Direct integration with form submission and email collection
  6. ✅ Dual Collections: Uses both generate_greeting and generate_greetings for compatibility

Supported Voices

10 Azure Neural Voices:

SUPPORTED_VOICES = {
    "Male_1": "en-US-EricNeural",
    "Male_2": "en-US-GuyNeural",
    "Male_3": "en-CA-LiamNeural",
    "Male_IND": "en-IN-PrabhatNeural",
    "Female_1": "en-US-AvaMultilingualNeural",
    "Female_2": "en-US-JennyNeural",  # Default for female avatars
    "Female_3": "en-US-EmmaMultilingualNeural",
    "Female_4": "en-AU-NatashaNeural",
    "Female_IND": "en-IN-NeerjaExpressiveNeural",
    "Female_IND2": "en-IN-NeerjaNeural",
}

Default Voice Selection Logic:

def get_default_voice_for_gender(gender: str) -> str:
    if gender == "male":
        return "Male_2"  # en-US-GuyNeural
    elif gender == "female":
        return "Female_2"  # en-US-JennyNeural
    else:
        return "Female_2"  # Default fallback

Database Collections

3 MongoDB Collections

history_collection2 = db["chatbot_history_homepage"]  # Chat sessions
lead_collection = db["LEAD_COLLECTION"]               # Form submissions
chatbot_collection = db["chatbot_selections"]         # Avatar/voice selections

# Greeting storage (dual for compatibility)
generate_greeting_collection = db["generate_greeting"]    # Singular
generate_greetings_collection = db["generate_greetings"]  # Plural (alias)
selection_collection = db["selection_history"]            # Avatar/voice state

chatbot_history_homepage Collection Schema

Purpose: Store conversation history for homepage chatbot sessions

{
    "session_id": "homepage_session_12345",
    "datetime": "2024-01-15 10:30:00",
    "chat_data": [
        {
            "input_prompt": "What is MachineAgents?",
            "output_response": "MachineAgents is an AI chatbot platform...",
            "timestamp": "2024-01-15 10:30:05"
        },
        {
            "input_prompt": "Tell me more",
            "output_response": "Our platform offers...",
            "timestamp": "2024-01-15 10:31:15"
        }
    ],
    "category": "Others"
}

Key Differences from Customer Chatbot History:

  • No user_id/project_id (homepage is single chatbot)
  • Category always "Others" (no ML classification)
  • Session-based tracking only

LEAD_COLLECTION Schema

Purpose: Store lead form submissions from homepage

{
    "_id": ObjectId("..."),
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john@example.com",
    "phone": "+1234567890",
    "interest": "AI Chatbot Integration",
    "sessionid": "homepage_session_12345"
}

generate_greeting / generate_greetings Schema

Purpose: Store pre-generated greetings with audio/lipsync (dual collections for compatibility)

Standard Greeting:

{
    "user_id": "homepage",
    "project_id": "machineagents_website",
    "greeting_type": "initial_greeting",  // or "form_greeting"
    "text": "Hello, I'm Eva, your virtual chatbot. How can I help you?",
    "facialExpression": "smiling",
    "animation": "Idle",
    "avatar_name": "Eva",
    "avatar_gender": "female",
    "voice_selection": "Female_2",
    "voice": "Female_2",
    "audio": "base64_encoded_wav...",
    "lipsync": {
        "metadata": {
            "soundFile": "path/to/file.wav",
            "duration": 3.5
        },
        "mouthCues": [
            {"start": 0.0, "end": 0.1, "value": "X"},
            {"start": 0.1, "end": 0.3, "value": "B"}
        ]
    },
    "timestamp": ISODate("2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z"),
    "regenerated_on_fetch": false
}

UTM Custom Greeting:

{
    "user_id": "homepage",
    "project_id": "machineagents_website",
    "greeting_type": "initial_greeting",
    "utm_config_id": ObjectId("..."),  // References files collection UTM config
    "text": "Welcome to our Spring Sale! I'm Eva, here to help you save.",
    "facialExpression": "smiling",
    "animation": "Idle",
    "avatar_name": "Eva",
    "avatar_gender": "female",
    "voice_selection": "Female_2",
    "voice": "Female_2",
    "audio": "base64_encoded_wav...",
    "lipsync": {...},
    "timestamp": ISODate(...)
}

Greeting Types:

  1. initial_greeting - First message when chatbot loads
  2. form_greeting - "Thank you" message after form submission
  3. Custom UTM greetings - Personalized based on traffic source

Core Features

1. Dual Greeting Collections

Why Two Collections?

Historical Context:

  • Originally: generate_greeting (singular)
  • Later: generate_greetings (plural) added
  • Current State: Writes to BOTH for backward compatibility

Code Pattern:

# All writes go to both collections
generate_greeting_collection.update_one(query, update, upsert=True)
generate_greetings_collection.update_one(query, update, upsert=True)

# Reads prefer plural, fallback to singular
doc = generate_greetings_collection.find_one(query)
if not doc:
    doc = generate_greeting_collection.find_one(query)

Impact:

  • Double storage cost
  • Potential inconsistency if only one collection updates
  • No migration path documented

2. Context-Aware Greeting Regeneration

Intelligent Triggers for Re-Generation:

Greetings are automatically regenerated when:

  1. Voice Mismatch (Lines 1622-1624):
if greeting_voice != current_voice:
    reason = "voice mismatch"
    # Regenerate with new voice
  1. Avatar Change (Lines 1625-1626):
elif avatar_changed:
    reason = "avatar changed"
    # Update greeting text with new avatar name
  1. Hidden Name Change (Lines 1627-1628):
elif hidden_name_changed:
    reason = "hidden_name changed"
    # Update greeting text with custom name
  1. Missing Audio (Lines 1629-1630): 
    else:
    reason = "audio missing"
    # Generate TTS for existing text

Name Extraction Logic:

# Extract name from existing greeting
if "I'm " in greeting_text:
    stored_name = greeting_text.split("I'm ")[1].split(",")[0].strip()

# Compare with current hidden_name
hidden_name_changed = (current_hidden_name != stored_name)

3. Contact Information Scrubbing

Purpose: Prevent TTS from speaking phone numbers/URLs

def remove_contact_numbers(text: str) -> str:
    # Phone number pattern
    phone_pattern = r"\+?[0-9]{1,4}[-.\\s]?[0-9]{1,3}[-.\\s]?[0-9]{3}[-.\\s]?[0-9]{3,4}"
    text = re.sub(phone_pattern, "the number provided in the chat", text)

    # URL pattern
    url_pattern = r"http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+]|[!*\\(\\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+"
    text = re.sub(url_pattern, "the url provided in the chat", text)

    return text

Example:

  • Input: "Call us at +1-800-555-0123 or visit https://example.com"
  • Output: "Call us at the number provided in the chat or visit the url provided in the chat"

POST /v2/generate-greeting

Purpose: Generate text-only greetings for initial setup

Request:

POST /v2/generate-greeting?user_id=homepage&project_id=machineagents_website

Flow:

1. Validate Chatbot Not Deleted

chatbot_config = chatbot_collection.find_one({
    "user_id": user_id,
    "project_id": project_id
})

if chatbot_config and chatbot_config.get("isDeleted") is True:
    raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail="This chatbot is no longer available.")

2. Get Avatar & Voice Configuration

# Try selection_history first, fallback to chatbot_selections
selection_data = selection_collection.find_one(
    {"user_id": user_id, "project_id": project_id},
    {"_id": 0, "hidden_name": 1, "selection_avatar": 1, "selection_voice": 1, "avatar_gender": 1}
)

if not selection_data:
    selection_data = chatbot_collection.find_one(...)

hidden_name = selection_data.get("hidden_name")
avatar_name = selection_data.get("selection_avatar")
current_voice = selection_data.get("selection_voice")
stored_avatar_gender = selection_data.get("avatar_gender")

3. Apply Voice Selection Logic

Gender-Based Voice Assignment:

current_avatar_gender = get_avatar_gender(avatar_name)
default_voice = get_default_voice_for_gender(current_avatar_gender)

# Only change voice when avatar gender changes
avatar_gender_changed = (stored_avatar_gender != current_avatar_gender)

if avatar_gender_changed or not current_voice:
    final_voice = default_voice
else:
    final_voice = current_voice  # Keep existing voice

# Update selection_collection
selection_collection.update_one(
    {"user_id": user_id, "project_id": project_id},
    {"$set": {
        "selection_voice": final_voice,
        "avatar_gender": current_avatar_gender,
        "timestamp": datetime.utcnow()
    }}
)

4. Generate Greeting Text

# Prefer hidden_name if present
name = hidden_name if hidden_name else avatar_name

# Initial greeting
text = f"Hello, I'm {name}, your virtual chatbot. How can I help you?"

# Form greeting
text_1 = f"Thank you for providing the details. Let me know how I can assist you further, and we will connect with you soon."

5. Store in Database (Text Only, No Audio Yet)

for current_text, key in [
    (text, "initial_greeting"),
    (text_1, "form_greeting")
]:
    # Update both collections for compatibility
    for collection in [generate_greeting_collection, generate_greetings_collection]:
        collection.update_one(
            {
                "user_id": user_id,
                "project_id": project_id,
                "greeting_type": key
            },
            {
                "$set": {
                    "text": current_text,
                    "facialExpression": "smiling",
                    "animation": "Idle",
                    "avatar_name": avatar_name,
                    "avatar_gender": current_avatar_gender,
                    "voice_selection": final_voice,
                    "timestamp": datetime.utcnow()
                }
            },
            upsert=True
        )

Response:

{
  "greetings": {
    "initial_greeting": {
      "text": "Hello, I'm Eva, your virtual chatbot. How can I help you?"
    },
    "form_greeting": {
      "text": "Thank you for providing the details..."
    }
  },
  "avatar_selection": "Eva",
  "avatar_gender": "female",
  "voice_selection": "Female_2",
  "voice_changed": false
}

UTM-Based Greeting Personalization

Overview

Feature: Personalize greetings based on traffic source (UTM parameters + target URL)

Use Case: Users arriving from different marketing campaigns see customized greetings

Example:

  • Google Ads user: "Welcome! Looking for AI chatbot solutions?"
  • Facebook user: "Hey there! Interested in automating customer support?"
  • Spring sale campaign: "Welcome to our Spring Sale! Save 30% today!"

UTM Matching Algorithm

Scoring System (Lines 1228-1271)

Points Allocation:

  • Target URL match: +10 points
  • Each matching UTM parameter: +2 points (max 5 params = 10 points)
  • Target URL only (no UTM params): +5 bonus points

Maximum Score: 15 points (10 for URL + 5 for all UTM params)

def calculate_match_score(originating_url: str, utm_config: Dict[str, Any]) -> int:
    score = 0

    # Extract base URLs (without query params)
    base_originating = extract_base_url(originating_url)
    base_target = extract_base_url(utm_config.get("target_url", ""))

    # Check URL match
    if base_originating.startswith(base_target) or base_target.startswith(base_originating):
        score += 10

        # Bonus if config has only target_url (no UTM params)
        if not utm_config.get("utm_config") or all(not v for v in utm_config["utm_config"].values()):
            score += 5

    # Check UTM parameters
    utm_params = utm_config.get("utm_config", {})
    if utm_params:
        parsed = urlparse(originating_url)
        query_params = parse_qs(parsed.query)

        for param_name, param_value in utm_params.items():
            query_key = f"utm_{param_name}"
            if query_key in query_params:
                if query_params[query_key][0].lower() == param_value.lower():
                    score += 2

    return score

Matching Examples

Scenario 1: Full Match

Originating URL: https://machineagents.ai/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=spring
UTM Config:
  - target_url: https://machineagents.ai/
  - utm_source: google
  - utm_medium: cpc
  - utm_campaign: spring

Score: 16 points
  - URL match: 10
  - source match: 2
  - medium match: 2
  - campaign match: 2

Scenario 2: URL-Only Match

Originating URL: https://machineagents.ai/pricing
UTM Config:
  - target_url: https://machineagents.ai/pricing
  - (no UTM params)

Score: 15 points
  - URL match: 10
  - URL-only bonus: 5

Scenario 3: Partial Match

Originating URL: https://machineagents.ai/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=social
UTM Config:
  - target_url: https://machineagents.ai/
  - utm_source: google
  - utm_medium: cpc  # Doesn't match

Score: 12 points
  - URL match: 10
  - source match: 2
  - medium no match: 0

GET /v2/get-greeting with UTM Matching

Request:

GET /v2/get-greeting?user_id=homepage&project_id=machineagents_website&greeting_type=initial_greeting&originating_url=https://machineagents.ai/?utm_source=google%26utm_medium=cpc%26utm_campaign=spring_sale

Flow:

1. Check for Deleted Chatbot

chatbot_config = chatbot_collection.find_one({
    "user_id": user_id,
    "project_id": project_id
})

if chatbot_config and chatbot_config.get("isDeleted") is True:
    # Generate error greeting with TTS
    error_text = "This chatbot is no longer available."
    # ... (generate TTS + lipsync, return error greeting)

Error Greeting Response:

{
    "text": "This chatbot is no longer available.",
    "audio": "base64_encoded_wav...",
    "voice": "Female_2",
    "facialExpression": "neutral",
    "animation": "Idle",
    "avatar_name": "Eva",
    "lipsync": {...}
}

2. Find Matching UTM Config

def get_matching_utm_config_for_greeting(originating_url, user_id, project_id):
    # Fetch all UTM configs with custom_greeting
    utm_configs = list(files_coll.find({
        "user_id": user_id,
        "project_id": project_id,
        "file_type": "utm",
        "custom_greeting": {"$exists": True, "$ne": ""}
    }))

    # Calculate scores
    scored_configs = []
    for config in utm_configs:
        score = calculate_match_score(originating_url, config)
        if score > 0:
            scored_configs.append((score, config))

    # Sort by score (descending) and return best match
    scored_configs.sort(key=lambda x: x[0], reverse=True)
    best_score, best_config = scored_configs[0]

    return best_config

3. Generate Custom Greeting (if matched)

if matched_utm_config:
    utm_config_id = matched_utm_config["_id"]
    custom_greeting_text = matched_utm_config["custom_greeting"]

   # Check if greeting already exists
    utm_greeting_doc = generate_greetings_collection.find_one({
        "user_id": user_id,
        "project_id": project_id,
        "greeting_type": greeting_type,
        "utm_config_id": utm_config_id
    })

    # If exists and matches current text + voice, return it
    if utm_greeting_doc and utm_greeting_doc.get("audio"):
        if utm_greeting_doc["text"] == custom_greeting_text and utm_greeting_doc["voice"] == current_voice:
            return utm_greeting_doc

    # Otherwise, generate new greeting
    # ... (TTS + lipsync generation)

    # Store in database with utm_config_id
    custom_greeting_doc = {
        "user_id": user_id,
        "project_id": project_id,
        "greeting_type": greeting_type,
        "utm_config_id": utm_config_id,  # Link to UTM config
        "text": custom_greeting_text,
        "audio": audio_base64,
        "voice": current_voice,
        "lipsync": lip_sync_data,
        ...
    }

    # Update both collections
    generate_greeting_collection.update_one({...}, {"$set": custom_greeting_doc}, upsert=True)
    generate_greetings_collection.update_one({...}, {"$set": custom_greeting_doc}, upsert=True)

4. Auto-Regenerate on Voice/Avatar/Name Change

# Get default greeting if no UTM match
doc = generate_greetings_collection.find_one({

TTS & Lip-Sync Pipeline

Complete Pipeline

User Text
    ↓
remove_contact_numbers() - Scrub phone/URL
    ↓
text_to_speech_greating() - Azure TTS → .wav
    ↓
convert_wav_to_pcm_greating() - FFmpeg → PCM format
    ↓
generate_lip_sync_greating() - Rhubarb → lip-sync JSON
    ↓
parse_lip_sync_greating() - Add soundFile metadata
    ↓
base64.b64encode() - Encode audio
    ↓
Return {text, audio, lipsync}

1. Azure TTS (text_to_speech_greating)

Lines 593-636:

async def text_to_speech_greating(text, user_id, voice):
    # Clean text
    cleaned_text = remove_contact_numbers(text)

    # Output path
    wav_file = os.path.join(OUTPUT_DIR, f"{user_id}.wav")

    # Configure Azure Speech SDK
    speech_config = speechsdk.SpeechConfig(
        subscription="9N41NOfDyVDoduiD4EjlzmZU9CbUX3pPqWfLCORpl7cBf0l2lzVQJQQJ99BCACGhslBXJ3w3AAAYACOG2329",  # ⚠️ HARDCODED
        region="centralindia"
    )
    speech_config.speech_synthesis_voice_name = voice  # e.g., "en-US-JennyNeural"

    # Configure output
    audio_config = speechsdk.audio.AudioOutputConfig(filename=wav_file)

    # Create synthesizer
    speech_synthesizer = speechsdk.SpeechSynthesizer(
        speech_config=speech_config,
        audio_config=audio_config
    )

    # Synthesize (synchronous)
    result = speech_synthesizer.speak_text_async(cleaned_text).get()

    if result.reason == speechsdk.ResultReason.SynthesizingAudioCompleted:
        return wav_file
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Speech synthesis failed: {result.cancellation_details.reason}")

Output: .wav file in tts_audio/ directory

2. FFmpeg PCM Conversion (convert_wav_to_pcm_greating)

Lines 638-649:

def convert_wav_to_pcm_greating(input_wav, output_wav):
    try:
        subprocess.run(
            ["ffmpeg", "-i", input_wav, "-acodec", "pcm_s16le", output_wav],
            stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
            stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
            check=True
        )
        return output_wav if os.path.exists(output_wav) else None
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        print(f"ffmpeg conversion failed: {e.stderr.decode()}")
        return None

Why PCM? Rhubarb requires PCM-encoded WAV files (not compressed formats)

3. Rhubarb Lip-Sync Generation (generate_lip_sync_greating)

Lines 652-665:

def generate_lip_sync_greating(wav_file, session_id):
    json_file = os.path.join(OUTPUT_DIR, f"{session_id}.json")

    try:
        result = subprocess.run(
            [rhubarbExePath, "-f", "json", "-o", json_file, wav_file, "-r", "phonetic"],
            stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
            stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
            text=True
        )
        return json_file if os.path.exists(json_file) else None
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Rhubarb execution failed: {e}")
        return None

Rhubarb Output Format:

{
  "metadata": {
    "duration": 3.5
  },
  "mouthCues": [
    { "start": 0.0, "end": 0.1, "value": "X" },
    { "start": 0.1, "end": 0.3, "value": "B" },
    { "start": 0.3, "end": 0.5, "value": "C" }
  ]
}

Mouth Shapes: X, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H (9 phonetic shapes)

4. Parse & Add Sound File (parse_lip_sync_greating)

Lines 668-673:

def parse_lip_sync_greating(json_file, sound_file):
    with open(json_file, "r") as file:
        lip_sync_data = json.load(file)

    lip_sync_data["metadata"]["soundFile"] = sound_file  # Add path
    return lip_sync_data

5. Cleanup Temporary Files

# After encoding audio as base64
for file in [wav_file, pcm_wav_file, json_file]:
    if os.path.exists(file):
        os.remove(file)

Memory Management: Always delete temp files to prevent disk space leaks

        messages=messages,
        temperature=0.7
    )
    return response.choices[0].message.content

4. Generate TTS + Lip-Sync

async def generate_tts_and_lipsync(answer):
    voice = SUPPORTED_VOICES.get(avtarType, "en-US-JennyNeural")

    # TTS
    wav_file = await text_to_speech_azure(answer, voice, session_id)

    # Convert to PCM
    pcm_wav_file = os.path.join(OUTPUT_DIR, f"{session_id}_pcm.wav")
    converted_file = convert_wav_to_pcm1(wav_file, pcm_wav_file, session_id)

    # Generate lip-sync
    json_file = generate_lip_sync1(converted_file, session_id)
    lip_sync_data = parse_lip_sync1(json_file, wav_file)

    # Encode audio
    with open(wav_file, "rb") as audio_file:
        audio_base64 = base64.b64encode(audio_file.read()).decode("utf-8")

    # Cleanup
    os.remove(wav_file)

        "animation": "Idle",
        "audio": audio_base64,
        "lipsync": lip_sync_data
    }

5. Parallel Execution with ThreadPoolExecutor

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as pool:
    answer = await loop.run_in_executor(pool, asyncio.run, get_gpt_response())
    result = await loop.run_in_executor(pool, asyncio.run, generate_tts_and_lipsync(answer))

# Save to database
save_chat_history2(session_id, question, answer)

return JSONResponse(content=result)

    "lipsync": {
        "metadata": {...},
        "mouthCues": [...]
    }
}

Performance: GPT-4 (2-5s) + TTS (2-4s) + Lip-sync (1-2s) = ~5-11s total

POST /v2/get-response-homepage2 (Background Processing)

Purpose: Return text immediately (202), process audio in background

Security Analysis

🔴 CRITICAL: Hardcoded Azure TTS API Key

Line 166 & 608:

speech_config = speechsdk.SpeechConfig(
    subscription="9N41NOfDyVDoduiD4EjlzmZU9CbUX3pPqWfLCORpl7cBf0l2lzVQJQQJ99BCACGhslBXJ3w3AAAYACOG2329",
    region="centralindia"
)

Risk:

  • Exposed in source code
  • Anyone can use for TTS generation
  • Billing fraud potential

Fix:

TTS_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY = os.getenv("AZURE_TTS_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY")
if not TTS_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY:
    raise ValueError("AZURE_TTS_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY not set")

speech_config = speechsdk.SpeechConfig(
    subscription=TTS_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY,
    region="centralindia"
)

🔴 CRITICAL: Hardcoded Azure OpenAI API Key

Line 240:

subscription_key = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY", "AZxDVMYB08AaUip0i5ed1sy73ZpUsqencYYxKDbm6nfWfG1AqPZ3JQQJ99BCACYeBjFXJ3w3AAABACOGVUo7")

Same issue as above - remove hardcoded default

🟠 SECURITY: Overly Permissive CORS

Lines 32-38:

app.add_middleware(
    CORSMiddleware,
    allow_origins=["*"],
    allow_credentials=True,
    allow_methods=["*"],
    allow_headers=["*"],
)

Risk: Any website can call homepage chatbot API

Fix:

allow_origins=[
    "https://machineagents.ai",
    "https://www.machineagents.ai",
    "http://localhost:3000"  # Dev only
]

🟡 DATA INTEGRITY: Task Database Memory Leak

Lines 385-386:

task_db = {}  # In-memory dictionary

# Tasks are added but never cleaned up
task_db[task_id] = {"text": answer}

Issue: Old tasks never expire

Impact:

  • Memory grows unbounded over time
  • Will crash after weeks of uptime

Fix:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

task_db = {}
task_expiry = {}  # Track creation time

def cleanup_old_tasks():
    now = datetime.utcnow()
    expired = [tid for tid, exp_time in task_expiry.items() if now - exp_time > timedelta(hours=1)]
    for tid in expired:
        del task_db[tid]
        del task_expiry[tid]

# Call cleanup periodically

🟡 CODE QUALITY: Duplicate Logger Initialization

Lines 525-532:

import logging
from pymongo.errors import PyMongoError

# Configure logger
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Issue: Logger already initialized at top of file (lines 56-62)

Impact: Potential log duplication or config overwrite

🟢 GOOD PRACTICE: Contact Scrubbing

Lines 136-146:

Prevents TTS from speaking sensitive information (phone numbers, URLs)

Integration Points

1. Frontend Integration

Homepage Chatbot Widget:

// Load greeting on page load
fetch(
  "/v2/get-greeting?user_id=homepage&project_id=machineagents_website&greeting_type=initial_greeting&originating_url=" +
    encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)
)
  .then((r) => r.json())
  .then((greeting) => {
    // Play greeting audio
    playAudio(greeting.audio);
    // Animate avatar with lipsync
    animateAvatar(greeting.lipsync);
  });

// Send user message
function sendMessage(question) {
  const formData = new FormData();
  formData.append("question", question);
  formData.append("session_id", sessionId);
  formData.append("avtarType", "Female_2");

  fetch("/v2/get-response-homepage", {
    method: "POST",
    body: formData,
  })
    .then((r) => r.json())
    .then((response) => {
      displayMessage(response.text);
      playAudio(response.audio);
      animateAvatar(response.lipsync);
    });
}

2. UTM Tracking Integration

Marketing Campaign Setup:

  1. Create UTM Config in Client Data Collection Service:
POST /v2/submit-utm
{
    "utm_source": "google",
    "utm_medium": "cpc",
    "utm_campaign": "spring_sale",
    "target_url": "https://machineagents.ai/",
    "custom_greeting": "Welcome to our Spring Sale! I'm Eva, here to help you save 30% on AI chatbots today."
}
  1. Frontend Passes Originating URL:
const originatingUrl = window.location.href;
// e.g., "https://machineagents.ai/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=spring_sale"

fetch(
  `/v2/get-greeting?...&originating_url=${encodeURIComponent(
    originatingUrl
  )}`
);
  1. Backend Matches & Returns Custom Greeting:
  2. Calculates scores for all UTM configs
  3. Selects best match
  4. Returns personalized greeting

3. Lead Management Integration

CRM Integration Flow:

User fills form on homepage
        ↓
Frontend POST /add-lead
        ↓
Stored in LEAD_COLLECTION
        ↓
Admin dashboard GET /fetch-lead-data
        ↓
Export to CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.)

4. Selection Service Integration

Avatar/Voice Selection Flow:

User selects avatar in dashboard (Selection Service)
        ↓
Selection Service updates selection_history collection
        ↓
Homepage Service POST /v2/generate-greeting
        ↓
Reads from selection_history
        ↓
Generates greetings with selected avatar/voice

  5. ✅ Lead Collection - Direct form submission storage
  6. ✅ Contact Scrubbing - Prevent TTS from speaking sensitive data
  7. ✅ Deleted Chatbot Handling - Error greeting generation
  8. ✅ Background Processing - Async TTS generation (experimental)

Critical Fixes Needed

  1. 🔴 Externalize Azure TTS API key (Lines 166, 608)
  2. 🔴 Externalize Azure OpenAI API key (Line 240)
  3. 🟠 Restrict CORS to machineagents.ai only
  4. 🟡 Fix task_db memory leak - Add cleanup mechanism
  5. 🟡 Remove duplicate logger initialization (Line 532)
  6. 🟡 Consolidate dual collections - Migrate to single collection

Performance Characteristics

Operation Time Notes
GPT-4 Response 2-5s Depends on prompt length
TTS Generation 2-4s Azure Speech SDK
Lip-Sync Generation 1-2s Rhubarb processing
Total Sync Response 5-11s Blocking user experience
