Hi guys! So I have created a bot for my web app and uploaded it on AWS so that my web app can send a GET request and get the response from the rasa\_core. But for a specific user i need to pass an in in the GET request. like :

http://my\_ip\_.amazonaws.com:5005/conversations/ **27** /respond?q=‘who is online today?’

So i want to track this 27 in my action file so that i can make an api call using this id as a parameter.

OR

IF you can suggest a way that I can get the user\_id in the start of conversation when my user opens the bot widget. I tried to set as user\_id = tracker.get\_slot(‘recipient\_id’) but this doesn’t work! Any help is appreciated. I’m stuck on this issue for 2 days!

`tracker.sender_id` should do the trick

Since tracker is a class object, use this method in actions.

```
(tracker.current_state())["sender_id"]
```

The sender\_id provides the id…How to get the sender name ?
