I have this in my web page and everything is working great for all of the normal actions and intents, but I want to send the IP address back to actions.py from the Web page. Can I do that in customData like below? The variable ip has the user’s IP address. If so, how to I get the ipaddress data in actions.py. WebChat.default.init({ selector: “ #webchat ”, initPayload: “/get_started”, customData: {“language”: “en”, “ipaddress”: ip}, // arbitrary custom data. Stay minimal as this will be added to the socket socketUrl: “ https://chat.myexample.com ”, socketPath: “/socket.io/”, title: “My Title”, subtitle: “My Subtitle”, })

Hi, Obviously you can transfer whatever data you want, the only change is that you need to make the channel a custom channel, In the channel you can add something like this (in the Input class that is written as something like: class YourNameSocketIOInput(InputChannel): ) add whatever data you want to the json, parse it and transfer it to the metadata field: if "customData" in data and isinstance(data["customData"], dict): user_token = data["customData"] else: user_token = None message = UserMessage( data["message"], output_channel, sender_id, input_channel=self.name(), metadata=user_token ) then to access the metadata: def get_meta_data(tracker: Tracker): try: events = tracker.current_state()['events'] user_events = [] for e in events: if e['event'] == 'user': user_events.append(e) meta = user_events[-1]['metadata'] return meta except: return None

Thanks I was able to follow the steps here and it works: https://github.com/JiteshGaikwad/socketChannel_RasaBot
