Error : ChatConnector: startConversation - address is invalid

Question

I'm attempting to send a proactive message upon receiving an HTTP post request.The request sends an address object and a message. I tried deleting the conversion property as mentioned . But no luck.Any help is appreciated!

server.use(restify.plugins.bodyParser()); 

// Do POST this endpoint to deliver a notification
server.post('/api/followUpNotification',(req, res, next) => {
  var dialogName = navigation.GetMainMenuDialog("index","FOLLOW_UP_MESSAGE");
  delete req.body.savedAddress.conversation;
  bot.beginDialog(dialogName,{savedAddress: req.body.savedAddress,message:req.body.followupMessage}); 
  res.send('triggered');
  next();
 }
);

Answer 1

The bot.beginDialog method is used to start a new dialog proactively, the current dialog stack will be replaced when calling this method.

The constructor of this method is like this:

beginDialog(address: IAddress, dialogId: string, dialogArgs?: any, done?: (err: Error) => void): void;

And you called this method like this:

bot.beginDialog(dialogName,{savedAddress: req.body.savedAddress,message:req.body.followupMessage});

So if your {savedAddress: req.body.savedAddress,message:req.body.followupMessage} is the address which is saved in a previous conversation, then you can call it like this:

bot.beginDialog({savedAddress: req.body.savedAddress,message:req.body.followupMessage}, dialogName);

If you have any other question about this, please leave a comment.
