Session ID as a flow Variable

1

I am trying to find a way to get the session ID as a flow variable or global variable.

During the Chat session, I need to collect the session ID and store it as a variable. The Variable will be used to send an API to a third party system to be used later to Link the Chatbot Session Data, with the third party data.

I found resources that show how to Query the Session Properties, but i need this to happen During that session.

Hi,

You can use the getSessionId method. As the session ID won’t change during the session, you can add this code in the Global > Scripts > Begin dialog:
yourVariable = _.getSessionId()

I tried the .getSessionID() method and couldnt get it to work. I did however, find that the session ID was being stored in session storage on the website, so i wrote some code to pass that along to chatbot!

looks like both of these methods would work in the end!

I have tried the following scripts and none seem to work out:

sSessionIDFC =_.getSessionId()
sSessionIDFC = engineEnvironment.getSessionId()
sSessionIFFC = engineAccess.getSessionId()

any insight?

Hmm its wierd. Where do you put these scripts? According to the documentation both _.getSessionId() and engineAccess.getSessionId() should work.

I was able to get this to work - thank you!

I think i had a syntax error in it before!
