Hi, You are getting this error because the `tracker` object of `run` function is a `rasa_sdk` tracker which does not contain `trigger_followup_action`. The method `trigger_followup_action` is part of `DialogueStateTracker` which is a class of `rasa.core.trackers`. I suggest you return an event for calling a followup action like below:

```
class ActionHelloWorld(Action):

    def name(self) -> Text:
        return "action_hello_world"

    def run(self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,
            tracker: Tracker,
            domain: Dict[Text, Any]) -> List[Dict[Text, Any]]:

        dispatcher.utter_message("Hello World!")

        return [rasa_sdk.events.FollowupAction("your_custom_action")]
```
