I have been trying to deploy my rasa bot to a Google Cloud, but while I generally don’t have trouble getting the core bot uploaded. And even action server runs locally, I cannot ever get my custom action server to respond when it’s uploaded (I’ve also tried on Heroku as well with the same problem).
Action Server Running Locally

I’ve tried creating a custom action server in nodeJS [from [Lykos94's rasa-node-action-server git](https://github.com/Lykos94/rasa-node-action-server)]
const { RasaNodeActionServer, RasaActionEvent } = require("rasa-node-action-server");
const rnas = new RasaNodeActionServer();
rnas.define("action_hello_world", (action, res) => {
res
.addEvent(RasaActionEvent.bot("Hello world, from your action server"))
.send();
});
rnas.define("action_weather_test", async (action, res) => {
var weatherdata;
const { zipcode } = action.getSlots();
try{
weatherdata = await axios.get(`https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=${zipcode}&units=imperial&appid=${process.env.WEATHER_KEY}`);
console.log(weatherdata);
} catch (err){ console.error(err);}
res
.addEvent(RasaActionEvent.bot("Here's the weather for "+zipcode+": "+weatherdata['data']['weather'][0]['description']+ " with a temperature of "+((weatherdata['data']['main']['temp']).toFixed(1)+ "F")))
.send();
});
rnas.define("action_test_airtable", (action, res) => {
res
.addEvent(RasaActionEvent.bot("Hello world, from your action server"))
.send();
});
rnas.start();
But whenever I submit a POST to the action server (on port 5055 or 80), I never get a response. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong as I’ve tried using the rasa sdk on both heroku and google cloud, and even developing a custom action server in node and not a single one ever responds. What am I missing?
