I’m trying to build a bot with rasa. At the very beginning of the conversation it should fill some slots with data from the database. I have a custom action: class ActionFillSlots(Action): def name(self) -> Text: return "action_fill_slots" def run(self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher, tracker: Tracker, domain: Dict[Text, Any]) -> List[Dict[Text, Any]]: example = "example" return [SlotSet("example", example)] And in my domain.yml file i have set the slot like this: slots: example: type: text And a response like: utter_greet: - text: "Show { example }" And in my stories.yml file, i have stories like: - story: greet happy path steps: - intent: greet - action: action_fill_slots - action: utter_greet If I run the bot with rasa shell --debug and then type something that matches the greeting intent, i get the following error: Failed to fill utterance template ‘Show { example }’ Tried to replace ’ example ’ but could not find a valu e for it. There is no slot with this name nor did you pass the value explicitly when calling the template. Return template without filling the template. In my debug window I can see, that the slot has been set by the action: Current slot values: example: example I’m using rasa 2.1.0

[image] traube: text: "Show { example }" remove the spaces around example: {example}

Rasa 2.1 fill slots from custom action

@stephens Can I ask one more question? Do you have any idea why my action_session_start is not getting triggered?

Thanks
