So when we do dispatch.utter_message(text="Hello"); It sends {text:"Hello"} But i wanted to send one more parameter, like {text:“Hello”, param:“data”} when doing dispatch.utter_message() How can I do that ? Thanks

You can just use python built-in string format or rasa text format: dispatcher.utter_message(template="utter_template", ph="jack") The result will be my name is Jack. Rasa replace placeholder variable ph, you could define more than one placeholders. utter_template: - text: my name is {ph}

Thanks :), But I wanted to “receive” data on client side, Like dispatcher.utter_message(text=“Hello”, id=“2”) should send an object {text:“hello”, id:“2”}

You can do utter_message(text = 'Hello', json_message = {'id': 2}) Ref: Dispatcher

Hi, json message is still not there Thank you for your reply. Actually what I was looking for is ability to pass more arbitary fields to the front end along with the text attribute So e.g. instead of dispatcher.utter_message(text=“Hello”) I wanted to send something like below all the way to frontend dispatcher.utter_message(text=“Hello”, field1=“imp_val_1”, field2=“imp_val_2”) and I want my web frontend to get all the 3 fields, viz., text, field1 and field2 So template does not solve my problem. I did find something of interest, which was dispatcher.utter_message( json_message = {text: “Hello”, field1: “imp_val_1”, field2: “imp_val_2”}) However using this, what I receive on frontend is a blank message, so basically the response from RASA received by my web front end is blank :frowning: Can you help me understand, this issue

dispatcher.utter_message(json_message={…}) is not sending anything on my socketio channel , to my frontend, can someone help me?

Can you share the code that sends and receives the message?

class ActionMiniStatement(Action): """Executes after restart of a session""" def name(self) -> Text: """Unique identifier of the action""" return "action_mini_statement" async def run( self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher, tracker: Tracker, domain: Dict[Text, Any], ) -> List[EventType]: """Executes the custom action""" transactions = profile_db.get_mini_statement(tracker.sender_id) dispatcher.utter_message(text="Here are your five recent transactions 😊") statement='' for k in transactions: statement = statement+(f'{date.fromisoformat(str(k.timestamp)[0:10]).strftime("%b %d, %Y")} **₹{k.amount}** to A/C: **XX{k.to_account_number[len(k.to_account_number)-4:len(k.to_account_number)]}** \n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \n') dispatcher.utter_message(text = 'Hello', json_message = {'id': 2}) return [] Following is the screenshot of bwoser console which shows that it doesnt sends json_message at all, as you can see it only sends text, have tried multiple times [image]

Weird. Try adding buttons just to see what happens: utter_message(text = 'Hello', buttons = [ {"payload": "/affirm", "title": "Yes"}, {"payload": "/deny", "title": "No"}, ])

Yea sure, buttons are working, even the carousels and other payloads like attachments and generic templates
