02/26/2024, 2:45 PMTo connect your Botpress bot to a SQL Server or a local database, you can follow these steps:
Set up a Python Flask API:
Create a Flask application in Python that will serve as your API.
Define endpoints to handle incoming requests from Botpress and interact with your database.
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
app = Flask(name)
Define your database connection and queries here
@app.route('/query', methods=['POST'])
def querydatabase():
# Extract data from Botpress request
userdata = request.json
# Process userdata and perform database operations
# Example:
# result = performdatabase_operation(user_data)
# Return response to Botpress
return jsonify({"response": "Data fetched from database successfully"}), 200
if __name == '__main':
app.run(debug=True) # Run the Flask app

02/26/2024, 2:45 PMExpose Your Flask API Publicly:
Deploy your Flask application to a public server accessible over the internet. You can use platforms like Heroku, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform for this purpose.
Ensure that your Flask API is accessible via an endpoint URL.
Integrate Flask API with Botpress:
In your Botpress bot, utilize the user variable to store user data.
Use the Execute Code node to make HTTP requests to your Flask API endpoint and retrieve data from the database.
Example Execute Code node in Botpress:
// Assuming user data is stored in the variable userData
const userData = /* Obtain user data here */;
// Make a POST request to your Flask API endpoint
axios.post('YOUR_API_ENDPOINT_URL', userData)
.then(response => {
console.log(response.data); // Log the response from the API
// Further processing of API response or user data
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error fetching data from database:', error);
});
Replace 'YOUR_API_ENDPOINT_URL' with the actual URL of your Flask API endpoint.
By following these steps, you should be able to connect your Botpress bot to a SQL Server or a local database via a Flask API. Make sure to handle database connections securely and sanitize user input to prevent any security vulnerabilities.
