i am getting data from WEB API, so first i have to print all web api data using while loop, later want to print static message,… ex: j = 0; while j\< datacount: dispatch.utter\_message(data[‘name’][j]) j–; after while loop, dispatcher\_message(‘Thank you…’)

but here sometimes ‘thank you’ printing in middle of while loop data. i want to print ‘thank you’, after all loop data completed.

I think that will be better if you run that loop in a function

> def getMessageOfApi(self, data):
> 
> ```
> ***here put you loop and all the logic***
> 
> return "FullMessage" + "\nThank you"
> 
> ```

in the utter\_message just like this:

> dispatch.utter\_message(getMessageOfApi(data))

Good Idea.

one more doubt: how can i remove/hide intent name after button click? i want to print only utter\_msg directly on button click . is it possible?

its working , when there is less records in while loop, when there is \>20 records its not printing

> strallMessages = 20 messages

> utter\_message(strallMessages + “\nThank you”) is not printing.
