Recognize Bot's messages about botkit-rasa HOT 4 CLOSED

Got it, thanks! 👍
Regarding this topic I see that there's also an open issue on Botkit: howdyai/botkit#694

I've updated the plugin, now we ignore all the messages coming from other bots (technically all the message with a defined bot_id).
I'll (try to) keep an eye on the issue that I referenced before, maybe there will be a cleaner solution.

Thank you very much for the detailed report!

Hi!
Can you help me replicate this issue? For which platform are you developing the bot? Slack?

from botkit-rasa.

Sure.
When accomplishing the mini-tutorial, https://rasa-nlu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html
After say 'hello' to the bot (you send this message to rasa through the request/hears functions) the bot reply is 'Hello!!!, tell me how can I help you'. This message is feedback from the slack web to the botkit-rasa handler, with a message like:

message { type: 'message',
  user: 'YYYY',
  text: 'Hello!!!, tell me how can I help you',
  bot_id: 'YYYY',
  team: 'YYYY',
  channel: 'YYYY',
  event_ts: 'YYYY',
  ts: 'YYYY' }

If not filtered, this message will be again processed by rasa.
As this message has the bot_id defined, we can filter it using

if( message.bot_id != null ){
        console.log('\t\t[own_debug]  bot response, not processing')
        next()
        return
      }
