How to take input inside a running action in RASA - rasa-nlu

Question

Suppose I’ve a running action that generates a list of dynamic buttons to the user. Generally, the button inputted from the user is going to NLU. But I want to know which button the user just picked and act accordingly in this running action. For example, If the user chose “Toyota” I want to call another action from this running action. All I want is not to go to NLU and not to check there. I want everything in my running action. Is it possible? If so, can someone provide the way I can approach?
My action class is given below.
> class ActionVehicleManufacture(Action):
> def name(self):
> return "action_vehicle_manufacturer"
>
> def run(self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,
> tracker: Tracker,
> domain: Dict[Text, Any]) -> List[Dict[Text, Any]]:
>
> r = requests.get('http://mind.zantrik.com/api/A1/GetVehicleManufacturer')
> response = r.text
> json_data = json.loads(response)
> l = []
> buttons = []
> for i in json_data["data"]:
> l.append(i["manufacturerName"])
> for i in l:
> buttons.append({"title": i, "payload": i})
>
> dispatcher.utter_message(text="Please let me know you car manufacturer name:", buttons=buttons)
> # I want to apply some condition here according to users inputted button.
> return []

Answer 1

To call an action after a new user message (e.g, selection of a button or free text) you need to include a story in you storied.md. Which action is arbitrary. For example:
## story example
* ask_about_manufacturers
- action_vehicle_manufacturer
* inform{"manufacturer": "toyota"}
- action_execute
If you have defined manufacturer as a slot, the type of the slot influences the stories. If you have seen Slots Set By Clicking Buttons, to set the slot manufacturer you need to do instead of
buttons.append({"title": i, "payload": i})
the following, where intent is the intent that captures the message "toyota", in the story example above "inform".
buttons.append({"title": i, "payload": f"""/{intent}{{"manufacturer": "i"}}""")
