I have a custom action where i am querying a mysql database and fill the slots based on the retrieval query. The tracker got updated with the fetched values of the respective slots.(current tracker state)

How to reflect the same slot values during the conversation as a reply to the question asked by the user to the bot? Or will the slots get automatically reflected/shown with the updated values in the conversation.

Figured it out eventually. Just passing the slot values inside dispatcher.utter\_message deals with it.
