@@AKSHATBAHETY I use voiceflow free version for making voice bot for a restaurant in which we have ordering services so I have used entities for capturing name,email,phone,location etc entity approach is good but 1 entity use around 4000 token so I think if we have paid account on open ai assistant platform. And if we integrate it with voiceflow will it reduce the token usage?i think We can train our open ai assistant and it will work in place of entity .I saw some videos on KZbin about open ai assistant with voiceflow but I didn't get it.

Hi Akshat, The video was great, I'm also looking for something exactly what you explained above, But, I think you added the extension code in vs code and hosted the chatbot locally and you uploading the code in that local file. But, can't we do that inside voiceflow itself? because when we deliver the chatbot for any business and if they use website builders like WordPress, the above approach doesn't work

Hi Rahul, glad you liked it, yes for testing purposes you need to host it locally, but honestly other than the file upload piece everything is pretty simple to host. It's just javscript adn work normally in all places - if you can add voiceflow script anywhere just ensure to add this too. It'll work Hosting extensions in voiceflow is not possible right now.

Good vid thanks. I made my own custom extension, and it works ok, except that when i refresh the page, all the messages the user has made are preseved except for the custom message which is just a small blank grey messagebox. Is this something you experienced and if so any tips on how to fix it?

[@AKSHATBAHETY]

Hey no it's not an issue the js code is loaded once when you click if you refresh the code is not triggered So it's not a bug

@@AKSHATBAHETY Yeah that's what i figured was going on. But really i'd want to keep those messages, so i wonder if there's a way to get it to rerender or remember the html it created
