Dynamic retry prompts?

[onchainguy-eth]

Hi,

is there currently any way to achieve dynamic retry prompts? By dynamic I mean something like providing a function that fetches a retry message from database at runtime and not when the prompt dialog is sent?

In the C# or Node SDK? In both languages, you can create your own dialog that implements any custom logic you want.

In NodeJS. Well I've got the following example:

builder.Prompts.choice(
  session,
  'This is just a random question?',
  'Yes|No',
  { retryPrompt: randomRetry() }
);

The function randomRetry is just evaluated one when starting the prompt so even when the user causes the retry prompt to open many times afterwards he will always get the same text even when the randomRetry function returns different values anytime.

Do you know what I mean?

@seb0zz You can show a random prompt from a list of static values. The SDK allows that. But if you want to go to a database or to generate a really dynamic value, I think you have to do it yourself. I don't know anything in the bot framework SDK to do that. You could set the maxRetries to 0 in the prompt options and handle retries yourself, showing different values.

@palmerabollo I will try that, thanks!

builder.Prompts.text(session,"Alright. What is the best phone number for us to reach you?"{retryPrompt:'For better follow i would request you to share your phone number to proceed further.'});
here some line of code for validation number if number is wrong then i am replaceDialog with repromt:true

session.replaceDialog('phoneNumberIntent',{ reprompt: true })

in my example the repromt are not working there is always display Prompt msg
retryPrompt string are not display
