Lets say I have the following story :

```
## story1
* something
 - ask_question
* answer
 - process_answer

```

Now the problem is that the answer could not be captured by intents as they are … it could be anything.

/but I’m OK with not been able to get out of it going directly to “process\_answer” after that i.e. no chitchat or other branching i.e. for the time being no other way out of the loop/  
Said otherwise :

```
  if ask_question then 
     answer followed by process_answer : score=1.0

```

How can I make it so whatever happens in “answer” is saved in a slot and available to “process\_answer” ?

Hello @sten ,

It seems you can use a FormAction here to capture the answer. Once the answer is captured, you can call process\_action.

> ```
> # story1
> * something
> - ask_question
> - answer_formaction
> - form{"name": "answer_formaction"}
> - form{"name": "null"}
> - process_answer
> 
> ```
