can anyone describe in a two words, how can i create a story based on a category slot value? for example i set a slot in a previous conversations or in action via api (i can call external api and get a value for a slot) and now I have a slot value but i can’t understand how to “fired” necessary story or fired necessary checkpoint?

@Kosechok

Demo use case:

```
 slots:
   account_type:
      type: categorical
      values:
      - premium
      - basic

  stories:
     steps:
       - intent: utter_greet
       - action: action_fetch_profile
          - slot_was_set:
               - status: basic
       - action: utter_welcome_basic

```

May be something like this you must have done for your action:

```
from rasa_core.actions import Action
import requests

class FetchProfileAction(Action):
    def name(self):
        return "fetch_profile"

    def run(self, dispatcher, tracker, domain):
        url = "http://myprofileurl.com"
        data = requests.get(url).json
        return [SlotSet("account_type", data["account_type"])]

```

Try as you asked in two words, so much pressure 😛 that’s what you looking or my bad

@Kosechok the above action file as you can see it setting the slot and that slot you using for the next story? Or I get you wrong? ☹

You are correct, but i’m talking about another case, I already have stored slot (set it in another story) And now I must check if slot stored(if not i will ask user and store id), and if i have a slot i should continue necessary story
