Begin Dialog With QnA Maker Bot Framework Recognizer (Node JS)

I was wondering if one can pass a 'Welcome Message' on the beginning of a chat with a bot using QnA Maker recognizer without the model recognizing it as message to send to the mode

Solution 1:

I think this code gives you the behavior you're looking for.

bot.dialog('welcome', [
    function (session) {
        // Send a greeting and show help.
        builder.Prompts.text(session, "Hi! How can I help you?");
    }
]);

I think it's falling through because session.send followed by session.endDialog is not waiting for the user and it falls through.
