what about doing something with action\_session\_start or similar? I’m trying with this code but nothing happens ```auto class ActionSessionStart(Action): def name(self) -> Text: return "action_session_start" async def run( self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher, tracker: Tracker, domain: Dict[Text, Any], ) -> List[EventType]: # the session should begin with a `session_started` event events = [SessionStarted()] # any slots that should be carried over should come after the # `session_started` event print("Ciao test") dispatcher.utter_message(text=f"ciao test") # an `action_listen` should be added at the end as a user message follows events.append(ActionExecuted("action_listen")) return events ``` I’ve also added action\_session\_start in domain file ---

@nik202 I know there are others widget like botfront, I’m trying to mantain the one indicated in the rasa site. In case, if I decide to try botfront, is there the possibility to set the data-token in it? I did now a quick test and it doesn’t seems to work ---
