I have created/trained my Rasa assistant and am working on creating my own custom UI. Depending on the type of response my bot is sending, I want to change the color of my bot’s response. For example, if my bot’s response is an order confirmation, I want my bot’s utterance to be green in my UI, whereas for other responses I would want my bot’s utterance to be red. How would I send this additional data (through the socketio path) to change the color of my bot’s response. Thanks!@rctatman @chkoss ---

Unfortunately, we currently only provide you with `text` (if it’s a text message) and information about what type of response it is (`user_message_evt` or `bot_message_evt`). Could you please create an issue in our repo ([Issues · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues)) specifying more details about the information you’d like to have? ---

Hi @developer123, you can use [custom payloads](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/core/domains/#custom-output-payloads) to specify the colour of the text, and then customise the UI accordingly to handle that ---

Thank you! That seems like it should work. I am trying to connect to the rasa server via socketIO, but how do I avoid just anyone being able to have access to make requests to my custom rasa server.
