Hello!

I’m trying to execute a action using the followup action event but I not sure if I’m doing it right. I’m running the HTTP server with the following command:

python -m rasa\_core.run --enable\_api -d models/dialogue -u models/nlu/current -o out.log --endpoints endpoints.yml

Then, I make this request:

Endpoint: [http://localhost:5005/conversations/default/tracker/events](http://localhost:5005/conversations/default/tracker/events)

JSON: { “event”: “followup”, “name”: “action\_age\_user” }

But, it’s not working. The bot is not displaying the message the action returned, only appears that receveid the request.

What am I doing wrong?

If you run the core server in debug mode, it will tell you if it correctly performed the `action_age_user` action.
