@Chaitanya Please check this thread - [(Solved) [CORE/SDK] Sending Pictures from Custom Action (utter\_response, utter\_attachment not working)](http://forum.rasa.com/t/solved-core-sdk-sending-pictures-from-custom-action-utter-response-utter-attachment-not-working/6002)

Essentially, you can create a template with the URL of image and **utter** the template using `dispatcher.utter_template` function.

image = ‘[https://i.imgur.com/nGF1K8f.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/nGF1K8f.jpg)’ dispatcher.utter\_message(text = “Here is the image that you have created.”, image = image)

use this it will show the picture
