Memory via HTTP Request
The system uses the Channel Token in your SSE or HTTP Request endpoint call as the unique identifier for memory. For instance, if your SSE call is:
https://payload.vextapp.com/sse/${assigned_sse_token}/post/helloworldThen the helloworld is your unique identifier. The system now will remember up to 5 queries (query + response) and up to 5 minutes for anything related to the helloworld unique identifier.
We recommend using your user's "User ID" as the channel token here as it:

Here's an example of how you can write your system prompt while including the "history" system variable:
