Hello everybody!

I need to send an attachment file (excel and pdf) from the bot to the user using socketio channel. Can anyone advise how to do this? I am not sure if I have to send a local file saved on my pc or upload the file online and send the link. It is not working using the dispatcher.utter\_message.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

I have fixed the above issue. If you need any help regarding this one. I am ready to help.
