Hi,

I followed the docs -

> [http://rasa.com/docs/core/api/events/#force-a-followup-action](http://rasa.com/docs/core/api/events/#force-a-followup-action)

and added custom action like this -

> class ActionResetPass(Action):
> 
> def apply\_to(self, tracker):
> 
> ```
> tracker.trigger_follow_up_action(self.ActionEmployeeCodeInput)
> 
> ```

Now according to the docs i should get my next action name in **followup\_ action** value but that is not happening rather i am getting **action\_listen** instead!
