Hi , i’m a little confused in terms of what the payloads of buttons should look like , like this Domains or like this Slots , i’m wondering if it’s possible to set a slot using buttons without the /intent{entities} format in the payloads ? so i want the payloads to be normal texts and clicking them results in setting the slot . What am i missing ? Thanks.

this is just the way it looks like in Rasa X, how this will look to your end users depends entirely on the platform you run it on later. For example on Facebook Messenger, the button text will show up as the user message, rather than the payload

that’s what the text part of the button definition is for

Oh , Okay , and how is it written in the domain.yml ? let’s take for instance this : utter_ask_potential: text: “Quel est le potentiel de réalisation de ton idée innovante ?” buttons: title: “Fort” payload: /choose_potential{“potential”: “Fort”} title: “Moyen” payload: /choose_potential{“potential”: “Moyen”} title: “Faible” payload: /choose_potential{“potential”: “Faible”} Where do i add the text attribute ? and wouldn’t this implicate a warning : The provided yaml file is invalid ?

sorry my bad, it is indeed “title” and not “text”. As described here . The way you’ve written it should show the buttons correctly

But this implies that the user clicking on one of the buttons to return /choose_potential{“potential”: “Fort/Moyen/Faible”} in his chat , how do we avoid this ?(correct me if i’m wrong) I want to avoid this : [image] I want the title to appear not the payload after the click…

Hi again , long time no see @akelad , i’ve actually been working on an application in Flutter and it’s been so fun so far . So what i’m doing right now is running rasa server and rasa actions server locally in LAN , and the flutter app talks to rasa via the rest channel using this : [image] The exchange between rasa and the user is working as intended but i stumbled upon an issue when the json response being containing the buttons attribute (e.g “buttons” : [{“payload”: … , “title”:…},{},{} and so on]) , i created buttons widgets in case the response contains buttons like this : [image] And now i’m wondering on how to proceed when it comes to what to post to rasa server when the buttons are clicked , i had the idea to create a future like this : [image] But right now i have no clue on how to retrieve the sender_id of a user in a perimeter that is outside of rasa , honestly i have no idea how the sender_id is handled in rasa , is it generated randomly ? what i do know is that we can retrieve it via the tracker in rasa but how do i use it outside of rasa ? Thanks in advance .

Hi @pandaxar not sure if you’ve already figured this out, but the sender_id in this situation is actually the sender you set in your request to the /webhooks/rest/webhook call. So in the case of the rest channel, setting the sender ID is up to you.

I actually didn’t figure it out, now i feel dumb .Is it the case for other channels ?

it really depends on other channels, Facebook Messenger for example will have the users sender ID from their Facebook profile automatically

Thanks a bunch ! You are a hero to rasa starters !
