Is this true that every slot has type ‘string’ when writing custom actions regardless of its type in domain.yml? I.e. if I create a slot with type ‘float’ it will still be a string in the tracker?
P.S. Is there a slot type ‘int’? Didn’t notice that in the docs.
Thanks!
Welcome to the forum 
No, you don’t have to worry about that. Why would you purposely set the slot to another data type anyway?
Thank you for a quick answer. It seems I didn’t explain myself properly.
The unexpected behaviour I am encountering is following:
I’ve created a slot of type ‘float’ in domain.yml. However, when I get its value from the tracker in actions.py, I receive Python type ‘string’.
Ah I understand now
Yes this is the behavior, you could just do float(tracker.get_slot('my_float_slot')) to transform it as you probably know, but at least you’re sure the conversion can work.
Thank you or the clarification!
Since that is clear, could you please confirm that I am right that there is no int slot type in Rasa?
That’s right! All the slot types are listed here, as well as how to make a custom slot type if you really need int instead of float
Thanks!
