# Events Conversations in Rasa are represented as a sequence of events. This page lists the event types defined in Rasa Core. Note: If you are using the Rasa SDK to write custom actions in python, you need to import the events from `rasa_sdk.events`, not from `rasa.core.events`. If you are writing actions in another language, your events should be formatted like the JSON objects on this page. ## General Purpose Events ### Set a Slot Short Event to set a slot on a tracker JSON ```json evt = {"event": "slot", "name": "departure_airport", "value": "BER"} ``` ### Restart a conversation Short Resets anything logged on the tracker. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "restart"} ``` ### Reset all Slots Short Resets all the slots of a conversation. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "reset_slots"} ``` ### Schedule a reminder Short Schedule an intent to be triggered in the future. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "reminder", "intent": "my_intent", "entities": {"entity1": "value1", "entity2": "value2"}, "date_time": "2018-09-03T11:41:10.128172", "name": "my_reminder", "kill_on_user_msg": true} ``` ### Cancel a reminder Short Cancel one or more reminders. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "cancel_reminder", "name": "my_reminder", "intent": "my_intent", "entities": [{"entity": "entity1", "value": "value1"}, {"entity": "entity2", "value": "value2"}], "date_time": "2018-09-03T11:41:10.128172"} ``` ### Pause a conversation Short Stops the bot from responding to messages. Action prediction will be halted until resumed. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "pause"} ``` ### Resume a conversation Short Resumes a previously paused conversation. The bot will start predicting actions again. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "resume"} ``` ### Force a followup action Short Instead of predicting the next action, force the next action to be a fixed one. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "followup", "name": "my_action"} ``` ## Automatically tracked events ### User sent message Short Message a user sent to the bot. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "user", "text": "Hey", "parse_data": {"intent": {"name": "greet", "confidence": 0.9}, "entities": []}, "metadata": {}} ``` ### Bot responded message Short Message a bot sent to the user. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "bot", "text": "Hey there!", "data": {}} ``` ### Undo a user message Short Undoes all side effects that happened after the last user message (including the `user` event of the message). JSON ```json evt = {"event": "rewind"} ``` ### Undo an action Short Undoes all side effects that happened after the last action (including the `action` event of the action). JSON ```json evt = {"event": "undo"} ``` ### Log an executed action Short Logs an action the bot executed to the conversation. Events that action created are logged separately. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "action", "name": "my_action"} ``` ### Start a new conversation session Short Marks the beginning of a new conversation session. Resets the tracker and triggers an `ActionSessionStart` which by default applies the existing `SlotSet` events to the new session. JSON ```json evt = {"event": "session_started"} ```
