Re: Passing name with talk-xml?

OK... but then how do I save the name on the server side?  People are talking to my bot through an external program which is sending input to the bot via the API... so I'm not sure how to save their names.

Hi Lee, all of the predicates e.g. <get name="name"/>, <set

to post the customer id custid.

Hi, I'm using the talk-xml API to interact with my Pandorabot, and I was
wondering how one would pass it the name of the person chatting, so it
can be used in conversation.  As of now, anything that normally includes
the name (such as "I'm glad you liked it, Nancy") just comes back blank.

I tried tacking on "&name=Nancy" to the end of the calling URL but it
doesn't have any effect.  Anyone know how to do this?
