sending and receiving events from webchat in Bot Composer

Hi,

I am able to dispatch an event (with custom name) from webchat and capture it in bot composer using 'Event received ’ trigger as shown in below screenshot.

But how can I post or send an event activity from bot composer to webchat?

Hello @zuercher8353 , I’m testing it with:

[Activity type = event name = WEB_CHAT/SEND_EVENT value = welcome ]

in a “send response” body in composer and I catch it on webchat side with:

   const store = window.WebChat.createStore({}, ({ dispatch }) => next => action => {

	      console.log(" Action  " + action.type);

      if (action.type === 'DIRECT_LINE/INCOMING_ACTIVITY' && action.payload.activity.type === 'event'){
        console.log('Event received from backend :' + action.payload.activity.value);
      }
     return next(action);
   });
