hi @erohmensing , I have created a bot to ans different leave balance . For now I have hardcoded the used ID , But I want to fetch the userID from custom data within the rasa-webChat script

div id=“webchat”/ script src=“https://storage.googleapis.com/mrbot-cdn/webchat-latest.js”></script script WebChat.default.init({ selector: “#webchat”, initPayload: “/get_started”, customData: {“language”: “en”, "userID ":“1234”}, // arbitrary custom data. Stay minimal as this will be added to the socket socketUrl: “http://localhost:5005”, socketPath: “/socket.io/”, title: “Title”, subtitle: “Subtitle”, }) script

I dont want to ask userID , I want to used userID directly in actions.py file

Thank you Aashay

You don’t need to do anything fancy to get the sender id :slight_smile:

A random sender ID is assigned to each user, you don’t have to define one in the customData. To access that sender id in your actions file, you can get the tracker.sender_id. More info here

hey @erohmensing, can you please check this thread, I would like to know your thoughts on this because if I try to extract the sender_id using tracker.sender_id I get some randomly generated number but If I pass the userId in customData from the rasa-webchat I can easily get the proper useId since I didn’t find a proper way where I can directly set the userId from the front-end :sweat_smile:

The EmployeID is added to custom data from webpage once the user login. This employeId is unique and , i need to use it in action to run api calls

Gotcha. As far as I can see, the customData is added to the socket but is not handled by the rasa connector. Though that is something you may want to confirm with botfront (I don’t know much about how they format the request to rasa internally).

You could subclass the socket connector and rewrite this function to make use of the customData and send it as metadata in the UserMessage. (Custom Connectors)

Hey @erohmensing, I have rewritten the function and it works :slight_smile:

is this possible to get sender id, firstname, lastname, username and phone number from telegram bot without asking the user? Coz. when I tried to store conversation using tracker store, I was able to get sender id? And there is a bot caled uerinfobot, by which they provide our firstname, lastname and id. Is this possible to get that on rasa? Please let me know.

Hello , I used the below to send user id to rasa :

class ActionHelloWorld(Action):

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

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

    
    employee.Email = tracker.latest_message['metadata']['email'].lower()
    print(tracker.latest_message['metadata']['title'].lower())

  
    print(tracker.get_latest_input_channel())

    return []

success: function(response){ WebChat.default.init({ selector: “#webchat”, initPayload: “/get_started”, customData: {“language”: “en”, “email”: response[“Email”], “title”: response[“Title”]}, // arbitrary custom data. Stay minimal as this will be added to the socket socketUrl: rasa_url, socketPath: “/socket.io/”, title: “Test”, subtitle: “Hello! I am Digital Employee :)”, params: {“storage”: “local”} // can be set to “local” or “session”. details in storage section. }); }
