There are four kinds of actions in Rasa: 1. **Utterance actions**: start with `utter_` and send a specific message to the user. 2. **Retrieval actions**: start with `respond_` and send a message selected by a retrieval model. 3. **Custom actions**: run arbitrary code and send any number of messages (or none). 4. **Default actions**: e.g. `action_listen`, `action_restart`, `action_default_fallback`. ### Utterance Actions To define an utterance action (`ActionUtterTemplate`), add a response to the domain file that starts with `utter_`: ```yaml responses: utter_my_message: - "this is what I want my action to say!" ``` ### Retrieval Actions Retrieval actions make it easier to work with a large number of similar intents like chitchat and FAQs. ### Custom Actions An action can run any code you want. Custom actions can turn on the lights, add an event to a calendar, check a user’s bank balance, or anything else you can imagine. ### Default Actions The available default actions are: | Action | Description | |--------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `action_listen` | Stop predicting more actions and wait for user input. | | `action_restart` | Reset the whole conversation. Can be triggered during a conversation by entering `/restart`. | | `action_session_start` | Start a new conversation session. | | `action_default_fallback`| Undo the last user message and utter a message that the bot did not understand. |
