Rasa execute next action unless the previous action work flow is not completed, how can I solve this issue. I use asyncio.sleep method in my previous action work flow but regardless of completing the previous action it moves to next action.

What if `action_1` sets a status slot value and your story would only execute `action_2` if the status slot value indicated the first action was successful.

I don’t understand what you are trying to say. The way you set slots within the custom action server is by returning SlotSet events to the rasa server.

You use `SlotSet` which is shown with an example under [Actions](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/api/rasa-sdk/#actions) and [Set a Slot](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/api/events/#set-a-slot).
