issues with bot not recognising messages
# đŸ€help
g
Hey guys my botpress bot is integrated to a slack channel, when i message it in the slack channel, it works fine, however I am trying to send information from the 'make.com' app into that slack channel that my bot is running in, for my bot to process. the bot will not accept the message though, i have identified where in the logs the issue is but i dont know why the message hasnt been fully received? @fresh-fireman-491 @acceptable-gold-88171 @acceptable-kangaroo-64719 the first image is a successful message received and the second is a message sent from the other bot into the channel where its not fully received. the payload is still recieved even when the message hasnt so maybe i can use {{event.payload}} or something instead of event.preview? I hope you guys can help tia x

Can you send a screenshot of your code
g
My code is only to send the data back to make it doesn’t even run through the bot to get to the code
Just some axios
Or do you mean some other type of code
f
Which part of your chatbot is set up to receive the data?
g
It’s just integrated on slack listening for the users last message
Event privies
Preview
But the message won’t be recognised
For some reason because it’s being sent from another bot basically not another person
It won’t recognise
f
But what do you have on your Botpress
g
I haven’t changed anything I just set up the bot
How it would normally work if it recognised the message
Is there something I can change?
f
Do you want to receive anything from Slack or make.com in your Botpress bot?
g
Yes the bot needs to run and use the info being sent from make generate a response then execute code back to make
f
And what have you set up to receive the data from Make
g
A slack channel basically
I tried to do the whole thing with make originally, scrape emails from gmail and send them over but for some reason we couldn’t get it to work so I decided to get make to post it to a slack channel where the bot reads it
As the bot is integrated in the same channel
Sorry it’s complicated
I know exactly how to send info into Botpress from make and send info out of make into bot press without the slack channel but for some reason I couldn’t get it to work
f
I am sorry but I don't think I am sure which part doesn't work?
g
It’s not a problem with the work flow of the bot, it’s a problem with the integration of the bot, it doesn’t respond to absolutely every message in the chat, only ones that I send myself
This is what the bot sends to the slack channel
It doesn’t respond but if I send the exact same message from my account it responds
I hope you understand more what I’m trying to say bro
f
Not really, but I don't have a lot of knowledge about Slack either. Maybe its better that someone with more knowledge than me help you here 🙂

Hopefully someone answers đŸ„Č
