  • 1.  Update context variable with JSON

    Posted 09/22/20 07:17 PM
    I have a problem for which I have spent several hours looking for a solution on the Internet but I have not found any literature or tutorial to help me. If anyone here can help me I would be very grateful.

    The situation is: I have a Node where I define a list of options, You can see below  the Node and it JSON content.



    { "output": { "generic": [ { "title": "aaaaa", "options": [ { "label": "aaaaa", "value": { "input": { "text": "a" } } }, { "label": "bbbbb", "value": { "input": { "text": "b" } } } ], "response_type": "option" } ] } }​

    In this NODE I also have a WebHook that calls an API that returns another JSON like the one below.

    { "output": { "generic": [ { "title": "Relação de Cidades", "options": [ { "label": "São Paulo", "value": { "input": { "text": "SP" } } }, { "label": "Rio de janeiro", "value": { "input": { "text": "RJ" } } }, { "label": "Bahia", "value": { "input": { "text": "BA" } } } ], "response_type": "option" } ] }​

    How do I update the JSON that is in this NODE with the JSON that came from the API ..? and where do i do that ..?

    Thank You in advance.

    additionally :

    Or could I send this JSON that returns from the API straight into the conversation in such a way that it assembles the list of options that JSON creates ...?

    I've tried to put this JSON in a variable and show the content of that variable in the conversation, but it shows the content of the JSON instead of assembling the list that JSON defines.

    Its not a super straight forward answer to add data from a webhook to the options response type, but here is a tutorial we wrote how it can be done:

    I already found out ...
    I replaced the double quotes with single quotes and it worked.

    I will continue with the tests and then put the result here.

    Hello Mitch..

    Once again I would like to thank you very much for your replay.
    I had implemented you tutorial and it work perfectly.
    Once again Thank you.

    Now I have to upgrade the Function (node.js) and add to it the select query on my database in order to produce the results that my App need.

    But this is the "Episode II - Attack of the Clones" rsrsrs...

    Best Regards.
