Hi @faiza_conte

Instead of the `utter_ask_...` action, you can use a custom action for forms, yes, as described here: [Forms](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/forms#using-a-custom-action-to-ask-for-the-next-slot)

Hope that helps 🙂

It looks like you forgot to import `EventType`. I think it should be `from rasa-sdk.events import EventType`, but this depends a bit on what version of Rasa you’re using.
