Send e-mails with a specific response in Watson Assistant.

Hello,

I’m trying to send an e-mail with Watson assistant in a specific response.

I found in the code a way to send e-mails by set up a context var in the json response.

But when I set ‘mail_context_vars’ as a ‘action’ in the json response, the function mail_context_vars($response_actions[$i]) is not trigger.

The condition in the code is similar to
$response_body['output']["actions"][$i]['name'] is equal to 'mail_context_vars'

I edit the my json response to have a [actions][][name]= “mail_context_vars” like this:

{
  "output": {
    "actions":[
      {
      	"name": "mail_context_vars"
      }
    ],
    "generic": [
      {
        "values": [
          {
            "text": "Sending a email"
          }
        ],
        "response_type": "text",
        "selection_policy": "sequential"
      }
    ]
  }
}

But the plugin don’t send any e-mail.
Looking into the Watson Assistant’s response in the browser I see that the [‘actions’][][‘name’] that I set up is in [output][user_defined][actions][][name] so the plugin code never match the condition.

{
   "output":{
      "generic":[ ],
      "debug":{ },
      "intents":[ ],
      "entities":[ ],
      "user_defined":{
         "actions":[
            {
               "name":"mail_context_vars"
            }
         ]
      }
   },
   "context":{ },
}

It will be great if the dev team correct this by adding the [user_defined] in the condition to be able to send emails in this way.

I avoid this bug by using the hook watsonconv_message_received that triggers when a response is delivered by Watson, using a function that check if my context var is set up and sending a email with wp_mail().
