[whatsapp] Received list reply from Whatsapp: { id: '4', title: 'Breakfast', description: 'Breakfast Healthy Meal' }

Using Raw Input, I do not get a choice to extract id, it by default extracts title

Field validation successful! Extracted: "breakfast". Input: 4

Any suggestions?

I use AI Task for strings that are not consistent (same) each time Task: Extract the last "id" value from the array. Save extracted "id" value to variable In the input field write explicitly that this is an array content: Array: Store result in variables: Or you can use regular expressions in Execude code: // The string containing the object-like data let dataString = "{ id: '4', title: 'Breakfast', description: 'Breakfast Healthy Meal' }"; // Regular expression to find the 'id' value let idRegex = /id:\s*'(\d+)'/; // Extract the 'id' using the regular expression let match = dataString.match(idRegex); // Check if a match was found and log the id if (match) { let id = match[1]; console.log(id); // Outputs: 4 } else { console.log("No ID found"); } Choose the one you like the best.

Thanks @square-toddler-30705. However, neither of the methods will work, since Botpress does not give direct access to the received data from WhatsApp. If there was a way to extract id, I could have easily solved this. This is where I find difficulty with Botpress. Another case. Received an array with id, title, and description. extracted value was something else

But you used the validation. I don't know how it works and how to control it properly (validation option)

below is my Json

const mealMenu = {
  purpose: 'sendmessage',
  message_data: {
    messaging_product: 'whatsapp',
    recipient_type: 'individual',
    to: user.phoneNumber,
    type: 'interactive',
    interactive: {
      type: 'list',
      header: {
        type: 'text',
        text: 'ATM Tiffins'
      },
      body: {
        text: 'Choose from Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner'
      },
      action: {
        button: 'Select Meal',
        sections: [
          {
            title: 'Choose',
            rows: [{
                       id: meal.id,
                       title: meal.name,
                       description: meal.description
              }
           ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

It gives users a Single Choice Card, from where the user selects an option However, since this is not a standard Botpress Single Choice Card used, it only shows the user selection in the logs. To handle it, I am using a raw input card retrieved from history to extract the received response and hence the whole problem https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1229364809179467818/1229398986763538563/image.png?ex=662f8a07&is=661d1507&hm=79cfe25d2949f064438c3332bf584fa5480d946a9c9ae022a0ace1420e74ac10&

But you get this from the whatsapp, correct? Or I'm missing something?

Yes @square-toddler-30705 yes the response is from WhatsApp, but not from a Botpress-initiated single choice card

What data does it transform?

[whatsapp] Received list reply from Whatsapp: { id: '1', title: 'Jumbo Meal', description: 'Jumbo Meal for Lunch and Dinner' } to [Capture] Field validation successful! Extracted: ["lunch",1]. Input: 1

I am sorry, but I am a bit confused here. Isn't that a single choice, and not a raw input?

hahaha... it is a single choice, but not the single choice card, since the single choice card does not allow customization... as you see, instead of the standard "Choose..." text I am displaying "Select Meal" as text

I can see the problem here. I am unfortunately in no power to do anything about it, but I am sure that Bassam can take a look, and let the Botpress team know more about it

@famous-jewelry-85388 Do you have any solution here?

I would suggest using a Single Choice card, then changing the type of the message and testing it because the Raw Input might have some issues (I reported some). I don't know why, but this configuration doesn't have errors. If I use the Raw Input card, then there is an error. You must test this idea - no guarantee it will work in your case - sorry 😉 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1229364809179467818/1232739648044929125/image.png?ex=662a8dc3&is=66293c43&hm=dfd6bad78f1d53ad93967ab518a2709c2f04c8662904b9e57fd3632d5e36cd8c&

Thanks @square-toddler-30705 - I am not using Single Choice at all, so this may not work

I mean, it's not a single choice - it's a single choice card but switched to Raw Input

ok will try, I get what you were pointing to. Will keep you posted

Great, maybe it will work - strange but it solved my errors

Hi @limited-pencil-78283 Are you still facing this issue? Can you guide me a little bit please? I get lost easily in details 🙂 Can you sharre with me from business perspective what are you trying to achieve?

Hi @famous-jewelry-85388 I am using WhatsApp Interactive message instead of Single Choice.

why don:t you use the wait card?

My observation is that the input received gets interpreted by AI and transforms the value

hmmmm....

sure

Thank you sir
