Type your messages here or send 'stop'") while True: a = input() if a == 'stop': break responses = agent.handle_message(a) for response in responses: print(response["text"]) ``` I cant start the custom actions, how can I solve this issue? Thanks. ---

If you’re running a script, you have to specify an `EndpointConfig` yourself. Take a look at the run script to see how ---

Hi hd\_YYYYYYY, In addition to what akelad said, I think you might also have an error in your `endpoints.yml` file, which differs in a small, but important way, from the examples in the documentation. You said that your file had this in it… ```auto action_endpoint: url: "..." ``` But the docs have it as… ```auto action_endpoint: url: "..." ``` Note the indentation before the `url` mapping. In YAML this is important, as indentation defines scope. You can try out both of the examples in the [online YAML to JSON convertor](https://onlinejsontools.com/convert-yaml-to-json). You’ll see that the example you posted has `action_endpoint` and `url` as siblings, whereas the indented example from the documentation has the `url` as a child of the `action_endpoint`. Hope that helps! Steve ---
