Retrieving customData in core actions about rasa-webchat HOT 15 CLOSED

The we chat generates the session id string randomly. But you could change that behaviour by setting your session_id as a prop. It might not be very secure as the socket is open though

from rasa-webchat.

It doesn't yet... I was suggesting a possible addition. But since you found your way there's no need

thanks @ivopisarovic already working

You should be able to retrieve the senderId in the tracker (latest_message)

from rasa-webchat.

Hi @znat, thanks for your reply. However, senderId is a random string. How can I pair it with a real user that is logged in on the frontend?
I can use it to identify session but not for identifying the user.

I created a PR. #48

Yes you can use it as a user id with 0.5.x by setting the session_persistence param to true in the socketio channel in the credential yaml file

from rasa-webchat.

Yes, that is good for persisting the same id across sessions. However, it does not solve pairing with a user that is already logged in on the frontend. So I have to send some custom data anyway. Am I right?

from rasa-webchat.

No response, hence I am right :D

I have already solved the problem using customData.

However, I am still interested :) I went through the code but I cannot find the line where it reads session_id from prop. So I do not believe changing session id is so easy. :) Please, can you point me to the code where this happens?

from rasa-webchat.

Aha! I do understand now. Thanks for explaining :) Yes, it would be fine to have such a prop. But doing it via customData is simpler, so there is no need for that now.

from rasa-webchat.

@ivopisarovic could you please explain how did you solve the problem with customData?
Thanks

from rasa-webchat.

@ramsesdm Sure. Look at README. I have explained it there. You need to create a custom channel in Rasa Core to handle custom data on backend.

@ramsesdm @ivopisarovic How to do it with latest rasa ? Where i need to write code for it ?

from rasa-webchat.

@shivangpatel Sorry, I am still using the older version.
