Hey everyone, I need help with executing an action with a custom action. Is it possible ?

@Venkat check this thread may be this will help you: https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa-sdk/issues/120

@Venkat check FollowAction Ref: Events | Events return [FollowupAction(“action_current_date”), FollowupAction(“action_time”)] Good Luck! Hope this will help.

@nik202 Can you give an example , because I have never used followups

in follow-up action the action given as the follow-up will be executed after a defined function but I want it to executed after an if statement

You can only execute an action after a whole action completed. Do you want to continue the code after the if statement? If yes, then just duplicate the code into the new action (or preferably write a function) If not, then you can return [FollowupAction(action_name)] inside the if

@ChrisRahme but ,what is the syntax that should be used to run the specified action

As mentioned previously by Nik and I, return [FollowupAction("action_name")]

@ChrisRahme will this work tracker.followup_action("action_name")

Where did you get that syntax? Please check the tracker docs to see available options for the tracker.

Wow, that thread is almost 3 years old, be careful :slight_smile:
