Is it possible to include Retrieval Actions while a Form Actions is activated? For example:

- User gives slot 1 of the form
- User gives slot 2 of the form
- User wants to do some chitchat which responses are given by Retrieval Actions
- Then, I want to return to the form and ask for slot 3. Is this possible? How?

Thank you!

Hey @Gisele,

That should work out of the box, check the article [here](https://blog.rasa.com/response-retrieval-models/).

Did you try that and something went wrong?

Thanks @degiz for the reply. Yeah, the problem is when I want to integrate a Retrieval Action while a Form Action is still active. Is there any simple way to solve that?

hey @Gisele

As I said, it should work out of the box 🙂 chitchat in between filling the form values is the purpose for the retrieval actions in the first place. So if you’ve included `ResponseSelector` to your config file, and the training data is correct, you shouldn’t have any problems.
