How to send the user input text to the API

[ThiliSew]

I'm new to the botpress and I want to search for details according to the user input. In my scenario user has to enter the product name which he wants to know, my chat has to grab that input and pass it through skill API call to API and match this input with data in the JSON file. If there is matching data, chat has to display it into the user. If not, chat has to send a contact number to the user.

I'll be thankful if anyone can helps me to solve this issue. Thank you

Hello @ThiliSew, inside an action you can use either event.preview or event.payload.text to get what was typed by the user.

You can also use the NLU to extract the informations using slots and entities and with the slot filling skill .

BotService Cannot mount bot

Sir can you help me to solve this issue. I have created expo (bot1) and the next day it shows BotService Cannot mount bot "expo". Make sure it exists on the filesytem or the database. [Error, connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80] After I cannot solve this, I created expo 2( 2nd bot) and today I receive the same issue. [BotService Cannot mount bot "expo-2". Make sure it exists on the filesytem or the database. [Error, connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80]

I'll be thankful you can give me an answer to this issue.

Thank you
