I did try implementing the external event, it still gives the same error. I also tried --response-timeout the argument with no luck.

If this is a channel timeout, why does it happen only for slack and not for Twilio? I am confused!

Is it by any chance related to this bug? [got concurrent.futures.\_base.CancelledError · Issue #4047 · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues/4047)
