Hi, how can I see the chats which the users are having with the bot? is there a way to make a database with the conversations?

hi i tried to follow this custom inbox in github and one of the requirements is to have a VITE_BOTPRESS_BOT_ID_AS_USER. Is this the correct userID? if it is, why is it undefined? Thankyou!

Hey @colossal-area-71893, the bot_id_as_user is for differentiating your bot from other users in the conversation, and also to send messages as the bot. You need to have conversations with messages then you can open the Browser Console and look for the "MESSAGES" output, which is a list of messages. Now open each the first ones and look for some "outgoing" message (this was sent by the bot to the user), you can then copy the userId and use it as the bot_id_as_user

Hey mate, I'm gonna be releasing a new version that has prompts for the ids, it will make your life easier. I believe this month. But go ahead and use the current version, the instructions are very detailed!
