Can you attach a print() on the temp variable in your actions.py?

Also, it may be better to simply format your entire response into a string and directly pass that in instead of referring to an utter_instance, because your response has variables in it.

Since you’re making a Covid-19 tracker from what I can tell, you could go for something like:

dispatcher.utter_template(f"Total cases in {district},{state} is {temp}")

Thank You for your response @ActuallyAcey
