Hello, I’m trying to do a “long” story with checkpoints as this : ```auto ## story_destination * destination - utter_confirm_destination > check_destination ## story_destination_confirm > check_destination * affirm - utter_today_departure > check_today_departure ## story_destination_deny > check_destination * deny - utter_goodbye ## story_destination_today_affirm > check_today_departure * affirm - utter_today_departure_hour ## story_destination_today_deny > check_today_departure * deny - utter_goodbye ``` So first intent is working : > User : - I’m going to Paris > Bot : - Are you going to Paris ? > User : - Yes > Bot : - Do you want to leave today ? > User : - Yes And here the bot displayes utter\_default instead of utter\_today\_departure\_hour and I don’t get why ? Previous checkpoints are working but not the last one What can I check to understand why ? Thanks a lot,I can provide more information if needed ! ---

Can you show the logs while running the bot in debug mode? And I’m not sure if it helps, but maybe you can try to add a story ``` ## story_destination_today > check_today_departure * deny ``` ---

Can’t seem to find anything shocking in the logs, except there seems to be no memorised next action. What does your policy file look like? ---

``` policies: - name: KerasPolicy epochs: 100 max_history: 5 - name: FallbackPolicy fallback_action_name: 'action_missed_intent' nlu_threshold: 0.55 - name: MemoizationPolicy max_history: 5 - name: FormPolicy ``` Yes the next action should be my utter right ? 🤔 ---

Yes it should. Your policies are looking fine, do you get the same fallback response when you try the deny intent? ---

Sadly yes e: If I reply No to the first question same issue… what is going on ahah ---

You mean the ‘are you going to Paris’ question? I never worked with the checkpoints myself, so I hope maybe someone else can give some insight. ---

Yes, when I answer “No” to “are you going to Paris”, I got utter\_default message, instead of utter\_goodbye Really really strange I need this feature to work ahah ---

In the story on top you didn’t define utter\_goodbye after the ‘deny’ intent. So if you didn’t define it in your current story it can be explained. Otherwise I’m running out of solutions 😔 ---

I did it now to test if it’s changing something or not, I will update my code in first message 🙂 ---

Maybe my deny intent is not working ? E: The deny intent is working in other case … ---

Hm the stories look okay, and your debug logs look okay too. Can you show me your slot types in your domain? I think these are influencing your tracker history when they shouldn’t, which is affecting action prediction. Also, are you trying to pick up entities with your `destination` intent?
