Hello @BellaS,

You just need to create your custom action file normally. And then in the **actions.py** , you import those files accordingly, like this:

```
from somewhere import CustomAction 

```

While somewhere depends on the directory you put the CustomAction file in. Hope that helps 😄.

On Rasa 3 there is no need to import files to a single action.py file because all python actions on the folder are imported

If I renamed my ‘actions.py’ and created 3 more action files all in the folder actions: ![grafik](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/3X/3/7/3751c5ac2e8eedfa3ea9f9323d15d2cd56dde7fb.png)

But if I run ‘rasa run actions’ i get the following error:

```auto

```

What am I doing wrong?

Hey @mxnno, You need to keep file name as @jona has kept.

\<some\_name\>\_actions.py

and it will work… working for me with

Rasa Version : 2.6.2

Rasa SDK Version : 2.6.0
