When are variables coming to v1.8? I only seem to be able to add them via the @ symbol in the Start node
are you using API? Metadata is accessible {{metadata.variable}}
Nah I'm using the builder
what variables are you talking about? You can use extract fields to get variables from the conversation
and then you can use those in webhooks and such
those are just minimal default ones.
they have those tho, but I think Torrey Leonard said they are being implemented still, so not sure they are all working at the moment
Ya that's the problem, seems kinda half baked
And it's not just the minimal default ones, that's where you're mistaken
that's the @
you can do {Name} in v1
v1.8 we can't access them in the end node
And neither can we access them in any speak node
ya, I was just speaking of the default ones, and I've always used {variable} in v1 nodes
I'm surprised this is still not implemented
Did you go to their weekly call...what's happening...no updates in a while
I did
Hi there Shay and Tony, in v1.8 we have changed the way slightly for how variables are used. It allows more control by the user. Below is a link to our docs Shay R that has additional information regarding variable usage. https://docs.thoughtly.com/build/agent-builder/variables
So the @ symbol will not be a way to access variables?
I personally think that's a step backwards...but maybe that's just me
And bring back the green highlighting of variables in all speak nodes
The @ system Shay is referring to is not in v1.8, but it may get added back since we have been getting some requests from the community for that. However, the {{variableName}} notation should be working and highlighting green on all nodes.
Don't see any green highlights, v1.8
ya highlighting is broken, but {{ }} works
Anyways that's not a huge deal. I'll try referencing the metadata variables directly using {{variableName}}
But what about the response of a speak node. It's infinitely better to target as possible in the End node of v1
metadata is from passing through APIs though
{Attribute: variableName} according to @ symbol in the Start node
I don't know - there were like 20 bots in there so someone has it 😄
Did you figure out what you needed?
