IBM Watson Conversation - Python: Make chat bot jump to some intent & get back to previous intent

I am working on a chat-box. I am using IBM Watson Conversation to make a conversation bot. My query is:

Suppose the user is talking to the bot in some specific node, and suddenly the user asks a random question, like "what is the weather?", my bot should be able to connect to few Internet websites, search the content and come with a relevant reply, and after that as the user inputs to get back to the previous topic, the bot should be able to resume from where it left.

Summary: How to code in Python to make the bot jump to some intent and then get back to previous intent. Thanks!

There are abundant of examples ion the net. This site requires you to make some attempt. Do your research first., - Mahendra Gunawardena
Yes Mahendra I did indeed! What I am searching is for how to travel to a particular node via python code. - Pranzell
Did you manage to solve this?! I am looking for something similar! @Pranzell I want to check if a simple if condition if some data is in a db, and if not, jump to the start node. If it is, keep it going! - M.K

Search for a "request response". This is a way to redirect the conversation / dialog flow to your app, and then forward it back to watson.

Hope it helps.
