Hello,

I have a scenario where I need to leverage metadata into rasa:

- the application calls the rasa bot for an authenticated user and must provide some metadata regarding this user in the HTTP webhook call
- the rasa bot needs to access these metadata in custom actions to execute processing specific to the user

Is it possible and how to implement such processing?

Thanks very much for your help! Thierry
