Feature Description

Folks is there a way to trigger the API call without needing an input (using handleSubmit) or message (using append)?

Just need to trigger the call without providing any message. Any suggestions on how to go about it?

Use Case

We have generation tasks where we already store messages on the API, and just take some variable values from the user. So, we don't need an additional message. Just need to trigger the call.

Currently, it is not possible. The handle submit function requires an input to run. I have also tried replacing it with append but that (obviously) also requires a message.

Additional context

We are going around this by adding a dummy input message and removing it on the API. Not ideal.
