Default welcome message

Rasa Open Source
32

You can send “/session_start” to the rasa backend server when a user invokes the chat icon and customize the welcome message by creating a custom action like:

class ActionSessionStart(Action): “”" This action is used at the start of conversation. “”"

def name(self) -> Text:
    """This is the name to be mentioned in domain.yml and stories.md files
        for this action."""
    return "action_session_start"

async def run(
        self,
        dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,
        tracker,
        domain: Dict[Text, Any],
) -> List[EventType]:
    """This run function will be executed when "action_session_start" is
        triggered."""
    # The session should begin with a 'session_started' event
    events = [SessionStarted()]
    dispatcher.utter_message(
        text="Hi! How can I help you?")
    events.append(ActionExecuted("action_listen"))
    return events
