Hey, I integrated my Rasa bot in Slack. I have some buttons defined in my domain file : utter_otherQuestions: text: “Do you have any other question?” buttons: title: “Yes” payload: ‘/affirm’ title: “No” payload: ‘/deny’ I followed all the instructions, after running rasa and hitting the button in slack, I get the error: 2020-04-05 13:30:51 WARNING rasa.core.channels.slack - Received message on unsupported channel: D010VBL775H [2020-04-05 13:30:56 +0200] [1376] [ERROR] Exception occurred while handling uri: ‘ http://ac8cc757.ngrok.io/webhooks/slack/webhook ’ So basically when I hit the button in slack, nothing happens. Can someone help me here?

Yes i am wondering how can we connect :thinking:

Can you please write shortly what you did in here, so other people can also use it later?

I made sure my credential files are right. I made sure the action server is running. Action server has only one resource, so you can either run interactive or shell or the ngrok. So after the action server is running, i started a public domain from ngrok and installed the app from slack. It is working as expected. Make sure the credentials are correct, i.e., the bot user token authID. Regards, Rajesh

@rajas.black can you please show me how you coded your buttons in domain file. I think that might lead me to the problem I have. For me the credentials are correct. about running the actions, so first you use the command rasa run actions and then you start the domain from ngrok, while the actions are not being used in rasa x or any other resource, right? I do the same. that’s why I believe my problem can be related to wrong structure in the domain file for the slack buttons.

@mina.fsh Just an example below. My domain file is .yml and not .json responses: utter_example - buttons: - payload: ABC - title: ABC

It is working as expected. yes we did this all but the bot is working fine with text messages but not with the buttons. how did you made buttons work in slack. i read another issue on forum where PR was raised in sdk Slack buttons fail silently - #7 by akelad but no update in it since then.

I am not sure if I have understood your question as you intend to, but i can give a throw at it. Make sure the buttons (payload) are tagged with the relevant (text) choice the user makes.

Are we running into the same problem? [image] Rasa Slack Integration Tutorials, Resources & Videos Three hours later, I still can’t make the buttons work! You hint at the end of the video. Can I see your domain.yml file? My buttons work fine in the rasa shell but not with Slack. When I click on the button, I get the following exception thrown in the console running rasa run --enable-api --cors "*" -vv Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/cck197/rasa/venv2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sanic/request.py", line 173, in load_json self.parsed_json = loads(self.body) ValueError: Exp… There’s something different about the interaction payload: The payload will be sent to your specified request URL in an HTTP POST. The body of that request will contain a payload parameter. Your app should parse this payload parameter as JSON. https://api.slack.com/messaging/interactivity#components Pretty sure @JiteshGaikwad has the answer!

hey @cck197 , check this issue in this I have mentioned the workaround that I did to overcome this issue: Issue in the Slack connector opened 07:32AM - 23 Apr 20 UTC (UTC) closed 09:56PM - 27 Jul 20 UTC (UTC) [JiteshGaikwad] JiteshGaikwad Rasa version: 1.9.6 Python version: Python 3.7.6 Operating system (windows, osx, ...): windows Issue: The Slack connector is not able to handle the button... area:rasa-oss :ferris_wheel: type:bug :bug: I am not pretty sure whether this is a reliable solution :sweat_smile:

LOL I’d just bodged in the exact same hack: cck197@ubuntu:~/rasa/rasa$ diff --color /home/cck197/rasa/venv2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rasa/core/channels/slack.py ./rasa/core/channels/slack.py 356,357c356 < #metadata = self.get_metadata(request) < metadata = {"out_channel": payload["channel"]["id"], "users": payload["user"]["id"]} --- > metadata = self.get_metadata(request)
