That’s weird, everything looks fine to me… What versions of Rasa and Rasa SDK are you using? Show me the output of `rasa --version`.

@Samr-123 Share your action.py and you said you sending an email from rasa, right? @Samr-123 why you using from\_entity any specific reason? I guess you want to send the message. This will work fine with you. slots will be fetch. Further, please share the send\_email Intent from nlu.yml ``` forms: required_slots: email_from: email: - type: from_text subject: - type: from_text message: - type: from_text ``` Update and try and tell us. ---
