Did you already took a look at our documentation about [Actions](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/core/actions/#)? Apart from that you may want to look at our example restaurant bot ([rasa/examples/restaurantbot at master · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/tree/master/examples/restaurantbot)). The restaurant bot does not call any other service in the end, but in the `actions.py` file it defines a `RestaurantAPI` class ([rasa/actions.py at master · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/blob/master/examples/restaurantbot/actions.py#L5)), which could execute some API calls to other services. Does that help?
