Create a new topic with an "event received" trigger and populate a variable from System.Activity.Value.

For example:

kind: AdaptiveDialog beginDialog: kind: OnEventActivity id: main eventName: myEvent actions: - kind: SetVariable id: setVariable_ZaaEfM variable: Topic.myPayload value: =Text(System.Activity.Value)

Thank you for providing the solution. I did implement the way you suggested but i am getting the content Validation Error. Attached the screenshot for your reference.

When I go the system properties in a topic, I don't find anything called Activity.value.

Main,

The Activity.Value doesn't show up in the drop down, but it is available as a System variable. you will want to use the parse variable node to get the value of it before trying to use it directly. Here is an example from a deployed bot receiving a custom event and parsing the data. The parse node will parse the JSON into a target variable that you can then use as normal.
