Instead of running an action service with rasa_sdk and an action_endpoint I want to use my custom FormAction directly. But I haven’t found any documentation about this approach. Where is the FormAction called and used?

I think I found it. You have to change the rasa.core.actions.action.py file. In the function ‘action_from_name()’ actions will be created. Either it is an utter action or a remote action. Maybe it will work, if you change this function, so you can use your custom actions, without creating remote actions

You need to create a custom Domain, and rewrite the ‘action_for_name’ function. In my example: if action_name not in self.action_names: self._raise_action_not_found_exception(action_name) return self.remoteless_action_from_name( action_name, self.user_actions_and_forms, ) and the remoteness_action_from_name function: defaults = {a.name(): a for a in action.default_actions()} customs = {a.name(): a for a in self.custom_actions.get_custom_actions()} if name in defaults and name not in user_actions: return defaults.get(name) elif name.startswith(action.UTTER_PREFIX): return ActionUtterTemplate(name) else: return customs.get(name)
