Hello All,
Please help me out . trying to use custom rasa bot for my chat interface in my own flask file . the UI is working and i can see the assistant on it but when i type something it doesn’t respond .
#credentials.yml
socketio: user\_message\_evt: user\_uttered bot\_message\_evt: bot\_uttered
#flask file
from flask import Flask, render\_template
app = Flask(‘flaskwp1’)
@app.route(’/’) def webprint(): return render\_template(‘main.html’)
if **name** == ‘ **main** ’: app.run(port = 8000)
#main.html
\
:root { /\* --header-background-color: gray; \*/ /\* --header-text-color: black; \*/ }
#endpoints.yml
action\_endpoint: url: “[http://localhost:5055/webhook](http://localhost:5055/webhook)”
Is there anything else i have to do to make it work?

I finally got the message delivered from my own custom rasa-bot to rasa by running the rasa run -m models --enable-api --cors “\*” --debug
but Rasa is not able to respond to any of the message it receives from the flask file .

hi @Banrikupar - I would recommend adding a couple of `print` statements to your flask file to see whats happening
