Issue with Topic Redirect

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 13

I have topic called CreateMessage which uses Create Generative answers node to create a message based on a users request.

If this topic is triggered directly. The node creates a message as expected.

 

However, there is another topic that asks the user what they want to do. It gives them options

1.Create Message 2. Create Detailed Message 

 

When they select option Create message they are redirected to topic CreateMessage. It does execute nodes in this topic to request user input but does not give a response using the Create Generative answers. It just moves on to the next step.

 

Do we know what could be causing this? Is there a node we could add to wait until Create Generative answers node completes its task before moving to the next node.

I have the same question (0)

    Can you elaborate a little on what functionality you are hoping to provide with Gen Answers?

    Using GenAnswers I am making the copilot look at a couple of information resources (Bing custom search) and create a message based on that information. It works fine independently but if I have a topic redirect after gen answers , it skips giving the answer and executes the topic redirect.

    Why are you redirecting post response from Gen Answers? Can you provide a YAML for your conversational boosting topic?

    Hi, I am not using the conversational boosting topic. Instead, On conversation start is redirected to a main topic controller. Below is the YAML for the main topic controller. Based on the option selected. This then redirects to different topics which have the GenAnswers node. Will attach the YAML for the redirected topic in the next comment.

    @adilei : Possible to review the YAML?

    I've experienced something similar, what I did to fix the issue was change the Topic trigger type to redirect instead of the default (Phrases/Id Intent)

    You could also add a condition to each Trigger via the properties, which could be used in a multitude of methods

    Thank you for the response @willM . That helps. However, then the topic cannot be triggered by phrases anymore. But makes sense.

    What does your generative answer node uses as input? If it’s activity.text then with your redirect it will be "Create message", which is the last message sent by the user
