I want to set text and trigger send from outside of the chat component. I tried to set the text of the input field via dom, didn't work probably due to state mgmt.

@AnilSonix Were you able to get it working somehow? Where we need to set text in chatbot component from handler outside its context ? @FredrikOseberg - Can you help on this ?

@dkaus1 I ended up creating a custom component for conversation and individual widgets. I needed more control over the state. For state management I used zustand.
