Passing the context to the watson conversation

Question

Needing help for passing the context to the Watson conversation at any point in the conversation, without influencing the flow. it's possible?

Example: API integration fetches the data and set to the conversation context. Two dialog boxes after I am use the context variable.

Thanks very much

Not sure what you are looking for, but you can pass in user-defined context any time. — data_henrik

Thanks @data_henrik. I needed to pass parameters to the context outside the moment of the conversation; But it is not possible. The alternative was to create an empty node that accepts the user input and a jump to the next node with the conversation continuing. — Gustavo Montenegro

Like @data_henrik said you can pass the context anytime. To take the user input:

{
"context":{
"time":"@sys-time"
},

To use it anywhere use the symbol $. Ex:

condition: if bot recognize $time
Then respond with: The time is @sys-time.
