How to clear state in botkit 4 conversation

Question

We have built a bot using botkit v4 and we are using it with Facebook messenger.

We want to clear the state on a specific facebook_postback.

I tried the following but nothing is working.

bot.controller.storage.delete(message.user)

I did not find any proper references in the documents as well. any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Storage.delete method takes a list of identifiers, so correct syntax is

bot.controller.storage.delete([itemId]);

Also you need to discover correct format for itemId, I have an example from websocket controller and it looks like this:

websocket/conversations/USERID-USERID/

The final syntax would look like this:

const itemId = 'facebook/conversations/' + message.user + '-' + message.user + '/';
await bot.controller.storage.delete([itemId]);
