Hello, I am trying to trigger an action after a long user’s inactivity. More specifically, my chatbot starts a conversation with a response and then waits for the user’s input. If the user does not reply within a predefined period of time (let’s say 10 seconds), I would like to have my chatbot reply a message (let’s say “hey are you there?”). Is it possible? I tried to do it with reminders but it seems not to work.
I was going to suggest Reminders and then I read about the last part!
But can you explain more about what you did with Reminders and how they’re not working?
I have followed a strategy based on what I read in docs, but it is more than possible I am missing something. To begin with, I have implemented a simple story where the bot says its name (action_say_name) and then triggers the custom action action_schedule_reminder.
The action is given below and I am not sure If I have implemented properly:
Then I have a rule for EXTERNAL_reminder, to call the action react_to_reminder
And finally I have defined EXTERNAL_intent as an intent:
I run it in rasa shell, but nothing happens after 5 seconds and the bot keeps waiting for user’s input:

What I did is actually correct. Only problem is that reminders do not work on rasa shell. I had to run rasa x to see them function!
