| Hello There, | This is a sketch of UX and protocol considerations for a client which wishes to help users use gateways. |

| I've to start by introducing myself as an investment broker consultant working under the mandate of Banco Financials headquarters here in Ottawa, Canada to reach out to project owners and business men and women for funding cooperation between their companies/firms. |
In every place where the UI would ask for a Jabber ID (most notably contact add, but possibly also invite to chatroom, create chatroom from 1:1 conversation, start voice/video call to non-contact, search view where a Jabber ID can be used, etc) it should scan the user's roster for JIDs which have `disco#info > identity[category=gateway]` and show some way of choosing to enter an identifier for that gateway instead of a Jabber ID. The simplest example might be a drop-down with `disco#info > identity[type]` and optional disambiguating `disco#info > idenity[name]` such as "sms (Cheogram)". |

| In introducing the company I represent, Banco Financials is a private Investment Company, is one of the leading strategic investors based in Canada and the United States. | If a user has unambiguously selected a gateway, use https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0100.html#addressing-iqgateway to get a prompt: |

| Banco Financials is acting as a lender and the loan will be disbursed on a clear Loan of 3.5% Interest annually to project owners and Equity Partners for their Investment Projects. They focus on seed Capital, Early-stage, start-up ventures, existing LLC and total completion and expansion of Investment Projects with immediate Funding. |
This text may then be used as part of the UX as makes sense to help the user feel comfortable. Getting a success here and not an error also means that `jabber:iq:gateway` can be used in the next step. |

| Banco Financial can invest in any country on a good conduct with both parties. | NOTE: it is also acceptable (and in some UX may be preferred or even necessary) to pre-emptively ask all gateways for the prompt, instead of only once one is selected. |

If an identifier is (or might be, depending on UX) one for a particular gateway, use the following procedure to map it to a Jabber ID and then perform the in-context relevant action on that Jabber ID as though it had been entered directly: |

1. If a prompt was got for `jabber:iq:gateway` above then use that protocol to finish resolution: {{{ <iq type='set' to='gateway.tld' id='gate2'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:gateway'> <prompt>(555) 123-4567</prompt> </query> </iq> <iq type='result' from='gateway.tld' id='gate2'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:gateway'> <jid>+15551234567@gateway.tld</jid> </query> </iq> }}} 2. If an error is received in response to `jabber:iq:gateway` protocol, print the error message to the user and allow them to try again. This allows the gateway to provide useful feedback about format errors to the user. 3. If an error was received in response to fetching the `jabber:iq:gateway` prompt, then the gateway does not support this protocol. Look for a `disco#info > feature[var="jid\20escaping"]` and if found construct a JID using XEP-0106 escaping on the user input concatenated with `@gateway.tld` 4. If `jabber:iq:gateway` and `jid\20escaping` are both unsupported, replace any `@` in the user input with `%` and concatenate `@gateway.tld` NOTE: If the result of this procedure is a string that is not a valid Jabber ID, it should be rejected just as if a user manually keyed in an invalid Jabber ID. |
