When i send the word Generic nothing happens

[mitchelsneddon]

Cloned the tutorial and everythings working apart from when you send a message of "Generic" it does nothing, it shows the message has been read but the app doesn't respond with the postback

You have to modify the initial app.post. Otherwise it just follows the first rule and never gets to the updated rule which specifies the response to 'Generic'

Hi Victor,

I have attached a screenshot of the section you mention. What code do I need to put in on line 43 (A guess)?

Would appreciate any help I can get on this one. Almost there now, got the text reply, just need to get the cards. :)

You need to modify app.post() to call the sendGenericMessage() function if the incoming message is 'Generic'

I'm assuming that you already added the sendGenericMessage() function to your index.js file

Hi @dchege711 ,

It transpired that I had already added that code in at the bottom. I moved that up an replaced it with the older code. I had managed to get it working!

Thank you so much for your help.

As a side question, what is the function of the Postback button? Facebooks description helped a little, but does not provide much in the way of context: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/webhook-reference/postback

Is it saying that when I press Test button, that is the same as my pressing of Postback on the card?
