Rasa random story with a custom action

Rasa Open Source
1

Hello everyone, I’m new rasa and I’m trying to learn it step by step and eventually use it for a school project, any help would be very appreciated :slight_smile: I will explain my issue and provide my code below, have a great read!

I have implemented these stories in stories.yml:

version: "3.1"

stories:

- story: Interview
  steps:
  - intent: greet
  - action: utter_greet
  - action: utter_ready_check
  - intent: candidate_ready
  - action: utter_company_pres_po
  - action: utter_any_questions
  - checkpoint: utter_any_questions
  

- story: User has followup questions
  steps:
  - checkpoint: utter_any_questions
  - intent: affirm
  - action: utter_hr_follow_up
  - intent: candidate_question
  - action: utter_noted
  - action: action_select_random_story
  - slot_was_set:
    - active_conversation_story


- story: User does not have any followup questions
  steps:
  - checkpoint: utter_any_questions
  - intent: deny
  - action: action_select_random_story
  - slot_was_set:
    - active_conversation_story

- story: shared_questions_1
  steps:
  - action: utter_pres_question1
  - intent: pres_answer1
  - action: utter_feedback
 
  - story: shared_questions_2
  steps:
  - action: utter_pres_question2
  - intent: pres_answer2
  - action: utter_feedback

and this action in actions.py:

from typing import List, Text
from rasa_sdk import Action
from rasa_sdk.events import SlotSet
import random

class ActionSelectRandomStory(Action):
    def name(self) -> Text:
        return "action_select_random_story"

    def run(self, dispatcher, tracker, domain) -> List[SlotSet]:
        # Define a list of pre-defined story names
        story_names = ["shared_questions_1", "shared_questions_2"]

        # Randomly select a story name from the list
        selected_story_name = random.choice(story_names)

        # Set the selected story as the active conversation story
        return [SlotSet("active_conversation_story", selected_story_name)]

domain.yml:

actions:
  - action_select_random_story


slots:
  active_conversation_story:
      type: text
      mappings:
        - type: from_entity
          entity: active_conversation_story

What I want to achieve is to have the a random story running from the 2 stories defined in stories.yml (shared_questions_1, shared_questions_2). One of the stories should be triggered after one of these intents “deny” in the story " User does not have any followup questions" or “candidate_question” in the story " User has followup questions". This not running as expected, Whenever I run rasa shell the bot reachs “deny” or “User does not have any followup questions” and doesn’t go through any of the stories, it just stops there
