- In your Rasa bot setup, make sure to include the Rasa REST channel in your
credentials.yml
file:
rest:
# pass
Depending on your setup you might need to start the Rasa CLI / Rasa server with the right CORS headers, e.g. --cors "*"
.
Note, the version of the Chatroom's Javascript file is encoded in the URL. chatroom@master
is always the latest version from the GitHub master branch. Use e.g. [email protected]
to load a specific release. All Releases can be found here.
