Rasa X (docker compose install) external events error

Hi all, I installed Rasa X using the docker compose installation. I’m trying to issue an external event from my actions.py file. This works when I run everything manually, but when I try to run it through Rasa x it error. I would appreciate any suggestions:

My code in actions.py looks like this:

    async def run(self, dispatcher, tracker: Tracker, domain: Dict[Text,Any],)->List[Dict]:
        import requests
        slot_value=tracker.get_slot('lookup_email')
        slots=self.find_user(slot_value.lower())
        conversation_id=tracker.sender_id
        if len(slots)>0:
            print('setting slots- id:{} group:{} email"{}'.format(slots[0],slots[1],slot_value.lower()))
            #return{'id':slots[0],'group':slots[1],'email':slot_value.lower()}
            #will want expand this for more slots to include other slots
            d='{"name":"EXTERNAL_group","entities":{"group":"'+slots[1]+'"}}'
            url=f'http://localhost:5005/conversations/{conversation_id}/trigger_intent?output_channel=latest'
            x=requests.post(url, data=d)
            #x=requests.post(f'http://localhost:5005/conversations/{conversation_id}/trigger_intent?output_channel=latest', data={"name":"EXTERNAL_group","entities":{"group":slots[1]}})
        return []

I get the following error in my log:

My credentials.yml file looks like this:

rasa:
  url: http://localhost:5002/api

I should note that I have tried setting that to 5005, no port and the below with no difference:

rasa:
   url: ${RASA_X_HOST}/api

In case it’s important the endpoints.yml file looks like this:
