@Saranya96 you can use tracker store for that and could please open another topic for this discussion since this topic is related to the chatbot widget. 🙂 ---

Hi @JiteshGaikwad great work. I have faced one issue that I feel is worth sharing. The sender\_id is hardcoded in script.js. const sender\_id = “jitesh97”; Issue faced : This creates confusion is rasa db while filtering unique sessions and also using Tracker Object inside custom actions. This can be made dynamic using uuid generator so that new session starts with unique id . Imagine 100 users talking to bot using same sender\_id in parallel , It may cause unintended behavior of assistant. ---

It was asked a few times by others, but no answers… how do you get links in this widget? Tried as buttons with payload url, tried with link name and tried with custom actions… none of this worked. I really like the widget, but I also really need links. ---

Hi @JiteshGaikwad , Thank you very much for your bot UI code. And i’m new to RASA dev. Could you please help me on the below queries. 1\> How do we complete initial payload using the UI created by you. 2\> Also, the instructions you have provided on adding buttons didn’t worked for me. Am i missing something on it. It will be helpful if you can provide steps to do the same. Thanks again Best Regards, Ravi ---
