BUG: How to generically keep the chat history involving plugin actions answers, without a Direct Line WebChat channel

Posted on by OOO1337777

Despite that it IS possible to manually keep (some of) the chat history of the conversation by using a global Table/list variable and the undocumented `Modify items in a list` node; there are three problems to this methodology:

- The `Modify items in a list` node is undocumented and is a lucky hack for now.

- The bookkeeping into a Table/list is done manually. And any automatic bookkeeping would only be possible via client-side javascripting of a custom channel using the Direct Line WebChat API.

- The output results of plugin actions triggered by dynamic chaining cannot be saved/kept in a variable for later reuse. Are there plans to fix this bug? Also are there plans to fix the no-sharing-results bug of the dynamic chaining of two plugins actions within a single-prompt?

Hello @OOO1337777
I am not sure to understand the issue you are describing, could you explain the initial problem (before trying to solve it with a workaround using undocumented feature)? If you think there is a bug could you please open a support ticket?

I found the quick simple solution. IT IS A SHAME THAT THE OFFICIAL M$ DOC DOES NOT MENTION THIS TECHNIQUE VERY CLEARLY.

use an HTTP Get node to the Directline API with the System conversationId variable (warrning: during Test the value of conversationId is fake/mock and wont work)

GET /v3/directline/conversations/{conversationId}/activities?watermark={watermark_value}
