Botframework-sdk: NodeJS - Is it possible to let the chat connector programmatically receive a message?

[Lugo239]

At the end of my last dialog i want to use the last user input as an input for my main dialog.

session.endDialogWithResult({ response: session.message });

Iam able to get the lase user message in the first step of my " \ " root dialog. Now i want to start a dialog based on the last user input. So is it possible to start a dialog with a specific input message?

Currently i need to type in the message again to properly manage the transition between the end of the last dialog and a "new" start of the root dialog.

Have you tried starting the dialog you want with beginDialog() passing in the conversation via args.

for example, in your last handler, you could have

session.beginDialog('/', { message: session.message });
session.endDialog();

and then check in your dialog handler for /

if (args.message) {
// The result of the last conversation
}

Hey bondz!

Thanks for your fast and helpful reply! It is working correctly.
At this point the last message can be used as an input for the first dialog of the root.

Thanks a lot!

Hey its me again.

I have a follow up problem related to the way my main root is looping at this moment.

Iam enable to use the last message as input for the listen dialog. But now the builder.Prompts methods does not wait for user input anymore. Did smb of you got a similar problem?

If you were implementing the loop in the same dialog, you might want to take a look at the loop example using replaceDialog @Lugo239, how do you mean, the prompt doesn't wait for user input?
