Hi, is there API specification for POST /webhooks/rest/webhook? It’s only mentioned in Your Own Website that I can post json as a body like this { "sender": "Rasa", "message": "Hi there!" } and the response is [ {"text": "Hey Rasa!"}, {"image": "http://example.com/image.jpg"} ] But what about HTTP statuses other than 200?

hi @kaladin ! would you be up for taking this on?

I would love to contribute, but I dont think I have enough knowledge about Rasa to do this right now

Hi Alan, A suggestion and a request: 1. A suggestion I’d suggest to add the mentioned page that describe Rasa Core webhook API interface : 1.1 to the wiki documentation page : 1.2 and to the HTTP API doc : I became crazy for hours finding info. or I’m lost something? (that’s absolutely possible! :slight_smile: ). 2. A CR request (TBD) Now the REST API return 2 attributes: recipient_id and text / other media, as in the example: $ curl -s localhost:5005/webhooks/rest/webhook -d '{ "sender": "Giorgio", "message": "I am a bit sad"}' | json [ { "recipient_id": "Giorgio", "text": "Here is something to cheer you up:" }, { "image": "https://i.imgur.com/nGF1K8f.jpg", "recipient_id": "Giorgio" }, { "recipient_id": "Giorgio", "text": "Are you feeling better?" } ] It could be great if this endpoint could return also the name of the intent that produced that “output” template, like in this proposed modification: { "intent": "mood_unhappy", "reply": [ { "recipient_id": "Giorgio", "text": "Here is something to cheer you up:" }, { "image": "https://i.imgur.com/nGF1K8f.jpg", "recipient_id": "Giorgio" }, { "recipient_id": "Giorgio", "text": "Are you feeling better?" } ] } Why? The reason is to have at run-time an “explanation” of the bot reply, for possible postprocessing/filtering That’s also related with my question on stackoverflow : Make sense for you?

hi @solyarisoftware ! yes I agree this needs to be documented better. As for sending the template name in addition to the text, I think it’s not a bad idea, but please create an issue and we can consider it more carefully. As a workaround for now, you can subclass the Rest channel and add this yourself for now.

Hi @amn41 ! last night I watched your talk in 2018 at some py* conf in NYC :slight_smile: I agree in your approach & biz vision. BTW I try to disseminate RASA ecosystem on twitter/linkedin. Back on point, I opened a CR request on github. About the REST channel subclass, yes I’ll take a look, but because I’m not a python developer, that’s not easy but I’ll try! Thanks giorgio

check out the blueprint here rasa/channel.py at master · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub

adding this to the docs would be an awesome contribution, if you’re up for it!
