Description of the bug or feature request

Hello,

I've been looking to send an Http request to Botpress using N8N (Make/Zapier alternative) and keep running into this issue (
Error Message

It seems the userId is not being captured, despite the fact that it has been included in the payload and goes through within the Botpress emulator:
Payload body in Botpress Emulator

This was happening with "conversation Id", however it has since stopped and now only appears to being doing so for userId.

Am I doing something wrong, or do I have the payload structured incorrectly? Here is the payload structure within N8N if it helps:
HTTP Headers
HTTP Body
HTTP Body (2)

Here is my workflow as well if it is helpful, as well as the execute code node that's used after the webhook trigger:
Execute Codeblock
Botpress Workflow

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

hey @AsherOttobot

I'm not sure what you are trying to do... From what I see:

  • in your bot,
  • you try sending a text message to the webhook integration
  • you are using an HTTP call instead of just sending a message using botpress primitives

Is this your intention?

If so, the webhook integration is not meant to:

  • be called by your bot (it should be called by an external system)
  • be sent messages (it's not a messaging channel)

I don't understand what you are trying to achieve and this makes it hard for me to help you,

Frank
