hello i want to send intent in button payload from web GUI. So, for this, do I have to write separate logic to send the payload or RASA automatically captures that intent from the payload. right now I am sending button’s title using javascript to HTTP server of rasa. help needed asap.

if you pass the payload like this `/intent_name`, the intent should be picked up automatically

But then the bot renders “/intent\_name” as a response, can I specify also an alternative text?

@D063520 this depends 100% on your web gui and how it renders buttons. rasa provides a `title` and a `payload` for each button so that ideally your output channel would use the `title` as alternative text, but it’s up to the UI how to interpret the information rasa gives it.
