Hi, I’m still trying to follow RASA CALM tutorial but the last step when integrating API call to check for sufficient funds before transfer money does not run as expected and transfer pass even if amount pass is greater than balance set in ActionCheckSufficientFunds (1000). Even if not mentioned in tutorial at this step, I tried to re-train rasa before running inspect command. But rasa train lead to error below: ```auto UserWarning: Loading domain from 'domain.yml' failed. Using empty domain.

Hi @LECARROU, thanks for your message. Could you please show how your flow is structured? Do you use the action in the flow `action_check_sufficient_funds`? ---

I go ahead trying to implement “basic\_flow\_with\_branching” and when I train model, I notice in logs that “action\_check\_sufficient\_funds” has been registered and it is now working. I am a quite disappointed not to understand why sometime it works and other not ---

Hi @LECARROU thank you for your response. Just checking whether you’ve seen this page [Rasa Pro Tutorial | Rasa Documentation](https://rasa.com/docs/pro/tutorial/)? It’s a handy tutorial on how to build the CALM assistant from scratch. ---

Hi Marina, Yes, I did the tutorial and it works “issues” came when I tried to start a new calm project (rasa init --template calm) which config seems to be quite different I came with issue with OPENAI quotas restrictions… I try to bypass this issue implementing Ollama LLM models but until now I still have issues with OPENAI KEY even if normally config do not refer to OPENAI config.yml recipe: default.v1 language: en pipeline: - name: CompactLLMCommandGenerator llm: model\_group: ollama-gemma3-1b policies: - name: FlowPolicy - name: IntentlessPolicy assistant\_id: 20250328-141853-unary-vial endpoints.yml action\_endpoint: actions\_module: “actions” model\_groups: - id: ollama-gemma3-1b models: - provider: ollama base\_url: [http://localhost:11434](http://localhost:11434) model: gemma3:1b request\_timeout: 7 max\_tokens: 512 ---

Hi @LECARROU thanks again for your question. If you want to use text-embedding-ada-002 for your Enterprise Search you’d need to add your OpenAI API Key, or you could try using another embedding model which is available from Ollama. We’ve recently published a [tutorial](https://rasa.com/blog/handling-faqs-with-rasa-and-faiss-how-to-implement-rag/) on how to customise Enterprise Search parameters. ---

Did this solve the issue?
