I am using Node-RED for making a UI, this UI has a **registration form** with input fields as:

1. Name:
2. Email:
3. Age:
4. Phone no.

my goal here is to have my Watson Assistant **know the name of the user before the user starts to chat with the bot.**

So, technically there has to be a node that feeds the assistant node with the user\_name and user\_email so as to have the bot greet the user as:

`Hey "$name" how may I help you?`
