[Fixed] Send file to user (pdf, excel or word)

post by MariamHar on Jan 5, 2021

Hello everybody!

I need to send an attachment file (excel and pdf) from the bot to the user using socketio channel. Can anyone advise how to do this? I am not sure if I have to send a local file saved on my pc or upload the file online and send the link. It is not working using the dispatcher.utter_message.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

I have fixed the above issue. If you need any help regarding this one. I am ready to help.

were you able to upload an attachment using the above line? I’m running rasa x on windows wsl2. I wanted to upload a file which is on wsl2 to rasa x chat bot? can I do that? I can see a parameter called attachment in utter_message but it didn’t work well for me.
