Hi there,

I have the following scenario: when my bot asks the user certain questions, I want the user answer not to go through Rasa NLU, but to be saved in a slot (for example), and execute a custom action. The problem is that when the user responds, Rasa executes intent recognition and the dialogue follows a different course.

To make it better understood, I will give an example:

```
bot: "what do you want to search the internet?"

user: "what is the largest river in the world?"

bot: executes a custom action where it sends the query to a server.

```

I don’t matter what the user said, I just want to get the query to send it to a server. How can that be done with Rasa?

Thanks in advance 🙂
