Issues with Custom message to Telegram from Rasa Action

Rasa Open Source
1

Hi Guys,

I hope you are doing well, I am using Rasa Action to send a message to Telegram and I am able to see it on telegram, but it appears 5 times in telegram client with exceptions in Rasa. I am using NGROK with https on Rasa Connectors.

Could someone please help?

Here are exception details-

It sounds like something might be wrong with the image URL; what does the custom action look like?

@mloubser Thanks for helping, it is still unresolved. Please find below code , I look forward to your reply.

class ActionGetName(Action):

    def name(self) -> Text:
        return "action_get_name"

    def run(self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,
            tracker: Tracker,
            domain: Dict[Text, Any]) -> List[Dict[Text, Any]]:

        if tracker.get_slot("name") is None:
            dispatcher.utter_message(template='utter_ask_pin_code_again')
            return [UserUtteranceReverted()]
        else:
            name = tracker.get_slot("name")

            messages_list = [' Hello '  + name,
                             'How are you']
            message = "".join(messages_list)
            dispatcher.utter_message(message, tracker)
            return []

two things:

  1. you’re not actually using tracker for anything; you can just pass message
  2. If you did need to fill variables in a template from tracker slot values, you’d need to pass **tracker.slots, not just `tracker
