Which chat widget are you using for rasa ?

Hi
We are using rasa webchat from rasa githun and react chat widgets

Checkout Websocket-Channel, this is what is written over there,

By default, the socketio channel uses the socket id as sender_id, which causes the session to restart at every page reload. session_persistence can be set to true to avoid that. In that case, the frontend is responsible for generating a session id and sending it to the Rasa Core server by emitting the event session_request with {session_id: [session_id]} immediately after the connect event.

Since you are using rasa webchat widget, you can try sending customData with another session_id every time you want to clear the rasa session, maybe you can send some random strings as rasa session_id in the customData then whenever user logs out or sessionid is cleared you can change the session_id also.

I haven't tested the above solution due to lack of time, but you can test and let me know if this has worked.
