Interrupt Form with intent and Continue

lukas1223 · January 15, 2021, 10:41am

Hello, i worked now with rasa for round about a week, and i found a problem i am not able to solve. Here are my files in short form:

========================================================================== The files

Domain:

forms:
  user_form:
    firstname:
    - entity: firstname
      type: from_entity
    lastname:
    - entity: lastname
      type: from_entity
    age:
    - entity: number
      type: from_entity
    - entity: age
      type: from_entity
    product:
    - entity: product
      type: from_entity
    - intent: get_product
      type: from_text

NLU:

- intent: changes/product
  examples: |
    - i want to change my product to [bananas](product)
    - change my product to [apples](product)
    - change product to [pears](product)
- intent: changes/name
  examples: |
    - i want to change my name to [simon](firstname) [johnson](lastname)
    - i want to change my name to [alex](firstname)
    - change my name to [jim](firstname)
    - change my firstname to [Myriam](firstname)
    - edit my name to [klaus](firstname)
    - change name to [caroline](firstname) [mueller](lastname)
- intent: changes/age
  examples: |
    - i want to change my age to [12](age)
    - change my age to [12](age)
    - change age to [5](age)

rules:

- rule: change general in form
  condition:
  - active_loop: user_form
  steps:
  - intent: changes
  - action: utter_changes

- rule: change name in form
  condition:
  - active_loop: user_form
  steps:
  - intent: changes
    entities:
    - product: apple
  - slot_was_set:
    - product : apple
  - action: utter_changes

- rule: change general 
  steps:
  - intent: changes
  - action: utter_changes

=================================================================== The Problem:

I start a simple Form with an intent and have some slots to fill, this works fine. Now here is the problem. I want to cover the case of an typing error.

In this example i want to be able to change everywhere the slot “product” with an intent, triggered by an intent “changes” AND send after the change a action “utter_changes” - but this action only gets triggered if i am not in the form… If i am in the form and try to change the “product” with the “changes” intent, it changes the slot correctly, but doesnt trigger the “utter_changes” … Please help!

=========================================================================== Here is an Shell output as an example: (at the beginning i try to trigger the “changes” and this is working, i get the expected action utter_changes, than i start the form, give information and try the same - no utter_changes)

Your input ->  change my product to apple

whats your lastname

j.mosig · January 15, 2021, 11:05am

Hello @lukas1223, welcome to the Forum!

If I get this right, you want the user to be able to interrupt the form filling at any time, and have your assistant make a change. Then the assistant should tell the user what change it has made, and get back to the from, right?

One way of doing this is this:

Always have a change intent interrupt the form (use not_intent for this)
Add a rule that triggers when the form was deactivated with the change intent, and that executes some action_change
To distinguish between the different things that the user might want to change, you could either use an entity with a categorical slot (name / age / product), or use multiple intents in the not_intent field and multiple rules to trigger different actions.
Have the rule(s) that triggers the action_change also trigger the utter_changes action and reactivate the form afterwards, similar to here, but the rule would contain action_change and utter_changes instead of just utter_chitchat.

lukas1223 · January 15, 2021, 11:26am

Hey, thank you for your quick reply!

Yes, you understood my problem correctly.

Can you please write me an example or an idea for the rule that gets triggered when the form “user_form” gets deactivated by the intent “changes” ? i cant find the trigger event in the docs

and why i cant use directly something like that?:

rules:
- rule: Example of an unhappy path
  condition:
  # Condition that form is active.
  - active_loop: restaurant_form
  steps:
  # This unhappy path handles the case of an intent `chitchat`.
  - intent: chitchat
  - action: utter_chitchat
  # Return to form after handling the `chitchat` intent
  - action: restaurant_form
  - active_loop: restaurant_form

formed to something like this:

- rule: change name in form
  condition:
  - active_loop: user_form
  steps:
  - intent: changes
    entities:
    - product: apple
  - slot_was_set:
    - product : apple
  - action: utter_changes

for my understanding the only difference is that i have some entities (and slot mappings) in comparison to the unhappy path example. I would prefer a more general solution because i want to implement multiple forms and would like to make changes everywhere. so the best thing would be something like the bot challange example:

- rule: Say 'I am a bot' anytime the user challenges
  steps
  - intent: bot_challenge
  - action: utter_iamabot

because this works also while i am running a form

athulvingt · August 10, 2021, 2:05pm

have you found the solution? where u able to interrupt slot filling atleast once and get back to slot filling?

edward0422 · August 30, 2022, 5:00am

@lukas1223 Were you able to solve it?
