Where is `trigger_response_selector` defined in Rasa demo

Rasa Open Source

I was looking RasaDemo, in stories such as faq.yml I came across intent trigger_response_selector.

I have not found any definition of this intent in any file under datas/nlu/. I see action definition as action_trigger_response_selector in actions.py

Can someone please tell me how is this intent defined? The intent is there in domain.yml, but no training data for nlu.

Thank you

You’re correct, there are no example utterances for this intent. It is only invoked with the / syntax here.

@stephens thank you.

So my understanding: we do not need to define intent in nlu, if that intent is passed as-is via another medium or typed directly. Rasa does not complain if the intent is not created with training data, as long as it is in the domain file.

@ashek1520 yeps correct, if you mention intent: trigger_response_selector in domain.yml and in nlu.yml you not mentioned this intent with example, you are just fine. This is how payload work but on the other hand if for example you have payload button yes or no intent and you also want that user type the yes or no, for this example you need to define the examples and intent in nlu.yml. I hope this will help you.
