How to emit voiceflow chat custom traces back to my client
❓Webchat
Hey, can anyone help share the approach for how I would be able to submit a custom action trace ( per this documentation stating that custom action traces exist to be sent back to the client in the conversation API https://docs.voiceflow.com/trace-types#custom-actions ) .
The key to my approach is that I want my voiceflow chat agent to make a tool call which is a JS function that submits my trace i.e
export default async function main(args) {
const { inputVars } = args;
const label = inputVars.customVar ?? "no_label";
return {
trace: [
{
type: "my_custom_trace",
payload: {
label: label,
},
},
],
};
}
Currently, my challenge is that the agent successfully invokes the tool call and executes the JS function, and also responds back into the chat but my output log when I test in the voiceflow UI only shows a text trace type and doesn't also contain my expected my_custom_trace object.
What do I need to adjust or change in the voiceflow setup or JS function?
