Hi,

Is there any way to trigger a form without intent?

If I do it like the first picture, where I manually input with intent ‘trigger’, it works and will trigger the form.

In the second picture, what I tried to do is to set a slot with a custom action, and I want the form to be triggered right after the custom action. But it doesn’t work.

Can I do something such that the form can be triggered right after the custom action?

Hello @JLXie , welcome to the Forum!

> I want the form to be triggered right after the custom action.

Yes, this is certainly possible. I think you need to add this custom action to the rule, so

```yml
- rule: Actuvate pronounciation_form
  steps:
  - action: my_custom_action
  - slot_was_set:
    - word_form_activation: True
  - action: pronounciation_form
  - active_loop: pronounciation_form

```

You also need to make sure that `word_form_activation` is a boolean slot has `influence_conversation` set to True.

Hi @j.mosig , thanks for the reply.

It still does not work after doing so although action\_play\_game has been run. Would it be because the flow of triggering action\_play\_game is done in stories.yml but not in rules.yml?

Hi @JLXie were you able to solve this ? I am facing the same problem.
