Can someone help me understand difference between these 3 stories - story: 1 steps: - intent : greet - action : utter_greet - intent : ask_about_specials - action : utter_specials_info - action : restaurant_specials_form - action: utter_submit - story: 2 steps: - intent : greet - action : utter_greet - intent : ask_about_specials - action : utter_specials_info - action : restaurant_specials_form - active_loop: null - action: utter_submit - story: 3 steps: - intent : greet - action : utter_greet - intent : ask_about_specials - action : utter_specials_info - action : restaurant_specials_form - active_loop : restaurant_specials_form - active_loop: null - action: utter_submit

The use of active_loop: null followed by action: utter_submit tell the bot that once a form is completed (aka all the required slots have been filled), it should execute utter_submit. To start a form, I would suggest doing this: - story: Activate form - intent : ask_about_specials - action : utter_specials_info - action : restaurant_specials_form - active_loop : restaurant_specials_form # Stay in the form while all the required slots have not been filled And to stop it, I would suggest doing it in a separate story (or rule): - rule: Submit form condition: # Condition that the loop is active, aka still in the form - active_loop: restaurant_specials_form steps: - action: restaurant_form - active_loop: null # The form has been completed - slot_was_set: - requested_slot: null # All the required slots have been filled - action: utter_submit Look at Activating a Form and Dectivating a Form in the Docs. The video suggested by @nik202 is also good :slight_smile:
