Watson Assistant only supports one Webhook url. The issue is I have multiple nodes in Assistant that need to call different "Actions" I have hosted in IBM Cloud Functions. How can I do that? I tried to code and "Action" that uses the NPM Axios to call the other "Actions" but it fails as it lacks authentication.
Can someone tell me how to do it? I need the BASE URL to be athenticated via my IBM Cloud user API to grant access to my namespace.
this is the action I created that acts as a "Dispatch" for webhooks for Watson Assistant.
/**
*
* main() will be run when you invoke this action
*
* @param Cloud Functions actions accept a single parameter, which must be a JSON object.
*
* @return The output of this action, which must be a JSON object.
*
*
* Version: 1.5 beta (API HUB)
* Date: 24/04/2020

a) any - params is valid if "any" of the attributes are present

When I run it in Watson Assistant I get the following error:
