Please describe the bug

Hi team

I am trying to implement a solution to allow users to upload large attachments. I am following this sample and need to capture WEB_CHAT/SEND_FILES in my store. I checked all action types that are dispatched but WEB_CHAT/SEND_FILES is not one of them.

I have three questions:

.1 Is this action type still dispatched if the attachments are send via DirectLine .2 If not, I there a workaround that you guys suggest .3 If not, then I will use the default way to upload attachments. This has a good UI. I would like to check for the filesize however and send a message to the user if the filesize exceeds 4MB. How do I send a message to thes user from within webchat?

thank you

Do you see any errors in console log?

Not relevant

How to reproduce the issue?

Implement a store in webchat.

Step 1

const storeMiddleware = store => next => action => {
 if (action.type === 'WEB_CHAT/SEND_FILES') {
        console.log('We got him!')
      }

Step 2 Send one or more attachments to the bot

Step 3 Watch the console. Nothing there

What do you expect?

I would like to be able to capture an event or action type that would allow me to manipulate the attachments. I already have functionality in place to upload the attachments to a azure container and have the bot get the attaachments from there

What actually happened?

There is no WEB_CHAT/SEND_FILES to use

Do you have any screenshots or recordings to repro the issue?

Closed. Solved it like this:

     else if (action.type === 'DIRECT_LINE/POST_ACTIVITY') {
        const { activity } = action.payload;
        if (activity && activity.attachments && activity.attachments.length > 0) {
}
