I am using rasa version 2.8 ```auto - story: search restaurant info + affirm steps: - intent: restaurant_info - action: restaurant_info_form - active_loop: restaurant_info_form - slot_was_set: - requested_slot: location - action: action_deactivate_loop - active_loop: null - slot_was_set: - requested_slot: null - intent: affirm - action: display_restaurant_data - action: restart_conversation ``` This is my story I want to get information of a restaurant based on it’s location which will be provided by user in a form. Now everything works but last action(restart\_conversataion) doesn’t work, although the action is correct, it just resets all slots. here is the action: ```auto from rasa_sdk.events import Restarted def ActionRestarted(Action): def name(self): return "restart_conversation" def run(self,dispatcher,tracker,domain): dispatcher.utter_message('slots reset') return [Restarted()] ``` Now my question is can we write 2 or more consecutive actions together without an intent between them? I know in rasa 1.x we can Thanks ---

What’s the problem with the restart? If the slots are reset, that’s the correct behavior as per the [docs](https://rasa.com/docs/action-server/events#restart). Anyway yes, you can write consecutive actions, or make use of the [FollowupAction](https://rasa.com/docs/action-server/sdk-events#followupaction) event. ---

You mean you don’t want to reset the slots? Maybe you can try this: ` carry_over_slots_to_new_session: false` in domain.yml ---

@ChrisRahmeAccording to docs my story and action is correct, I know that. But after action: display\_restaurant\_data is executed, action: restart\_conversation doesn’t get triggered. Why is that any idea? ---

I want to reset the slot after every story is completed, but somehow 2 consecutive actions are not triggred(The 1st one is executed but not the second one) ---

> [@NIkhilBhaskar](#): > > But after action: display\_restaurant\_data is executed, action: restart\_conversation doesn’t get triggered. It’s weird. Maybe you need more stories doing this? Anyway, my preference in that case is to use [FollowupAction](https://rasa.com/docs/action-server/sdk-events#followupaction). Why not try it? ---

@ChrisRahme So I should write my FollowupAction in my previous action? example: if I have 2 actions - action: display\_restaurant\_data - action: restart\_conversation so I should write my FollowupAction in display\_restaurant\_data ? ---

Yup, ```auto return [Restarted(), FollowupAction(action_name)] ``` ---

Thanks @ChrisRahme That helped For other readers FollowupAction(“action\_name”) use quotes for action name ---

Yes of course, `action_name` is a variable in my example 🙂 Glad to be of help anyway!
