Hi I have a story that should display a wait message because the following action uses graphql to obtain some information and takes a while. The problem is that the utter\_wait\_message is displayed after the action is finished. How can I force the utter to show before and then do the query execution?

```auto
 - action: utter_wait_for_insurance
 - action: action_fetch_insurance_packages

```

If you always want the wait message to appear first, I’d probably write a rule for it: [Rules](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/rules/)

You could also have your action send a response before it starts executing any other code.
