You can do this by modifying the connector, but it is not very simple. There is an example in [this repository](https://github.com/guilherme1guy/rasa_middleware_connector) of how to achieve this. Take a look at the [Message Collector](https://github.com/guilherme1guy/rasa_middleware_connector/blob/master/examples/socket_connector/custom_middlewares/message_collector.py), which does almost everything you want.
