07/18/2023, 3:48 PMThanks for answer. Actually, I'm trying to do that, sending a custom event for each bot from my react menu and handling it in each bot's own before_incoming_middleware hook. but I get this message in the browser console every time I click the button: "Cannot send data until the webchat is ready botpress"

07/18/2023, 3:48 PMmaybe I'm not sending the event correctly or setting the condition correctly in the hook, because at least it gives me the warning

07/18/2023, 3:50 PMThis is the handler that I pass to my button of my menu:
Copy code
const handler = () => {
// @ts-ignore
window.botpressWebChat.sendEvent({
type: 'custom-event',
channel: 'web',
});
};high-cpu-79286
07/18/2023, 3:51 PMAnd this is my before_incoming_middleware hook:
Copy code
console.log('HELLOOOOO')
if (event && event.type === 'custom-event') {
botpressWebChat.webchatOpen ? 'hide' : 'show'
console.log('bye')
