I am trying to ask name, email, phone and date of appointment via RASA chatbot. I was able to train my model without any error however, while running the bot is says “rasa.core.actions.action - Failed to extract slot pname with action appointment\_form.Allowing other policies to predict next action.” Attached are files for reference. Also, I am using RASA version 2.0 and when I stories in the below way:

- greet:
  - utter\_greet it gives error.

@deepali0162 see every error carefully it stated that you using entities like phone-number but you not mentioned that in entities in domain.yml and even for number and for time, update it please.

@deepali0162 you even mentioned

```auto
requested_slot:
    type: text

```

But you not mentioned which slots you requested.

@deepali0162 delete the older models and retrain and run.

Please see the doc for forms, slot, entities etc
