You can just pass those files as normal to rasa\_nlu: [https://rasa.com/docs/getting-started/dialogflow/](https://rasa.com/docs/getting-started/dialogflow/) ---

If you want to pass something specific you can use custom actions to do that. In that case, your template will not have the action. Every time that intent is triggered, the action\_show\_image will be triggered from your actions.py - image intent - action\_show\_image ---

Hello, Actually, if you just want to send some text, just use utter\_message in your template file. I thought you wanted to send something else, that is why I suggested you to use custom actions. Now, in the custom actions, there are dispatcher.utter\_message() dispatcher.utter\_template() dispatcher.utter\_button\_template() Your message will be in dispatcher.utter\_message() as it is a simple text. Your message must only contain a strings, you can’t pass in objects as such like in DialogFlow. As far as I know, RASA has a fixed payload format while sending messages back. You need to see how you’ll pass those parameters and use it for your UI. Endpoints are used to connect to other services. In the new version of RASA, you need to keep the endpoints server running. `python -m rasa_core_sdk.endpoint --actions [Your actions file here]` ---

Hi, To enable custom actions: `python -m rasa_core_sdk.endpoint --actions actions.py` is the command to be used. Before that, you need to mention it as an endpoint in the **endpoints.yml** file. Something like: ```auto action_endpoint: url: http://localhost:5055/webhook ``` Hope this helps. ---
