I have a story in my bot that is triggered at the start of every conversation; it sets the slots at the beginning of the conversation and uses those slots throughout conversation to provide conditional utterances. I have the story laid out in training data and working properly, but I’m wondering if there was a way to make the model being trained have that story at the start of each of the data-augmented stories to improve performance? Either that or a way to use the mapping policy along with a returned `UserUtteranceReverted()` event that doesn’t reset slots, just bot and user messages. I’ve tried several combinations and none has worked because `UserUtteranceReverted()` undos side effects of a custom action that was a result of a provided intent. ---

Hi Kevin, If that story is used at `every` conversation, the easiest way to add it to each training story is to use a checkpoint. However, This is only good approach if your really need that story added to pretty much every training story. Check out the implementation of the checkpoints here: [Stories](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/core/stories/#checkpoints) ---

Hi @niveK I’m not able to set SlotSet if i use UserUtteranceReverted() For Ex: return [SlotSet(‘admin’, False),SlotSet(‘firstName’, first\_name),SlotSet(‘lastName’, last\_name),SlotSet(‘userId’, user\_id),SlotSet(‘role’, user\_role),UserUtteranceReverted()] Any help is much apperciated ---

I’d recommend [customizing the SessionStart action](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/api/rasa-sdk/#custom-session-start), as this is now supported by Rasa out-of-the-box. `UserUtteranceReverted()` is good for the [Mapping Policy](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/core/policies/#mapping-policy) since you don’t want those interactions affecting the next action’s prediction. It will clear the user’s message, bot’s response, and any side effects as a result of that interaction, so you probably don’t want to use it for those purposes. ---

Thank for the reply @niveK is it possible to send me an example to load slot variables at the start of the conversation and maintain through out the session? ---

The docs I linked for customizing the session start action should cover you there. See the `fetch_slots` method. ---
