This document will brief you on how to use the URL Params and queries in your Experience Designer flows.
You can use the params and queries passed from the chatbot URL to customize your flow in the Experience Designer.
For example, you can initiate the flow studio based on the flowId passed in the chatbot URL.
Defining a query parameter
The query params used in the chatbot URL will be available at msg.req.query.<queryparam>
In the Bot In Parser of the Bot Provider V2 Node, you should assign the fetched Query to the originalRequest object.
In this example, we are assigning the obtained flowId to the originalRequest object.
msg.payload.originalRequest.data.flowId=msg.req.query.flowId;
Using the query
You can then obtain the Query in the msg object at msg.payload.originalDetectIntentRequest.payload.flowId
In this example, we will assign the flowId to msg.payload.flowId in the function node connected to the Flow Manager node in the Experience Designer.
Invoking the Chatbot with the query parameter
You can add the query parameter to the Chatbot URL.
https://<domain-name>.orbita.cloud:8443/oeapi/<ChatbotURI>?<queryparameter>=<data>
In this example, you can use the https://<domain-name>.orbita.cloud:8443/oeapi/bot/url-params?flowId=5fe082b28e97c439b7206355
Sample flow
After importing the attached flow, you have to paste the below code in the Bot In Parser of Bot Provider V2 node.
msg.payload.originalRequest.data.flowId=msg.req.query.flowId;
