Hi,

I have to send the value of the slots to another person in JSON format. How can I do that, can anyone help me with this?

I have to send text/reply from bot in particular key. Is that possible?

You can use tracker data for getting active slot information. For testing , just make a function which returns

tracker.slots

and how to send those slot values to some other person through API in JSON format?

Sorry I don’t understand by other person. You want to send just the slot values. You can create an action for it! I think you can create an API for it using flask but i’m not sure how to do it!

Hi @abhishakskilrock,

I do something similar… having slots means that you are working with a FormAction. In a custom FormAction you can define:

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

This method is executed after all slots a properly filled which actually allows you to do something like:

    headers = {
        'Content-Type': "application/json",
        'Accept': "application/json",
        'Authorization': "Bearer ....",
    }
    payload = json.dumps(tracker.slots)
    response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers)
    response_as_json = json.loads(response.text)
    return response_as_json

Keep in mind that you have to check if tracker.slots can be serialized in this way and catch it properly if not.

Does that help you?
