I need to get the user name and user ID in the HTML code of my website.
The user is logged in already so I want the user's first name for the bot to use and the user ID so I can fetch info in a mysql DB.
So in the beginning conversation I will start with Greeting and use the first name.
Other topics will take the ID and I guess use a Flow to get the data.
I have added this code in the html:
| <script> |
| | var user_id = "52"; |
| | var user_first_name = "david"; |
and
| name: "startConversation", |
| | type: "event", |
| | value: { |
| | "user_id": "" + user_id + "", |
| | "user_first_name" : user_first_name |
So I want to start with a Greeting that would say - "Hi David" by getting user_first_name
I will later use the user_id, but for now I want to get the user_first_name from the html code on the page the bot resides on and use it in the Conversation Start Topic.
So how do I get that in there as a variable?
I am use the newest bot version.
Thanks for you help
-Dave
