Hidden message from Lex to Lex-web-ui

[Shubham1500]

Hi Team,

I am using Lambda to send response to Lex-we-ui.

Is there a property we can set on message so that it doesnt display to user in chat window ?
I tried type=invisible but didn't work. (Although it works when sending message from lex-web-ui to Lex )

Apologies for the delayed response. There's no way to explicitly tell the Web UI not to display a message when it comes from Lex, curious what the use case is here? You could try sending the information as part of a session parameter if you need data for something but don't want to display it.

@Shubham1500 In case your setup is node/webpack, here's a reliable approach if fully applied and implemented. Just introduce the global property via sessionAttribute.

In the module that returns a message that should be invisible to the user, add a sessionAttribute property hidden with value true.

Pseudo -> ./lex-web-ui/** actions.js and MessageText.vue, v-show | v-if state.lex.sessionAttributes.hidden != "true"

sessionAttributes persists so always reset hidden for all other modules.
