Programmatic Interaction with Chatbot in RASA

Hello everyone,

I have the following use case: I want to enable a user to input a question in an external application (e.g., a text file) and send it to the RASA chatbot by clicking a button. The chatbot would then return the response in a new window or interface.

Is it possible to implement this programmatic interaction in RASA? If so, could anyone provide guidance on how to do so?

Yes, you can use the REST channel. Also discussed here.
