How to pass and extract metadata in Rasa, sent by POST request?

Rasa Open Source

Hello everyone! I’m trying to get metadata using Rasa custom actions. The POST request body looks like:

{
"sender": "Me",
"message":"Check channel",
"metadata": {"channel": "chat"}
}

I changed method get_metadata in class InputChannel of rasa\Lib\site-packages\rasa\core\channels\channel.py file to:

def get_metadata(self, request: Request) -> Optional[Dict[Text, Any]]:
    metadata = request.json
    return metadata

And, also I wrote the next code in Rasa custom action to extract it:

@staticmethod
def extract_metadata_from_tracker(tracker: Tracker):
    events = tracker.current_state()['events']
    user_events = []
    for e in events:
        if e['event'] == 'user':
            user_events.append(e)
    return user_events[-1]['metadata']

In response I just get empty metadata:

    "recipient_id": "Me",
    "text": "Check channel",
    "metadata": {}
}
