Answer 1

You can use custom actions for that.

Your domain.yml file should look like:

intents:
    - affirm

actions:
    - action_affirm

Your stories.md file should look like:

* affirm
    - action_affirm

You actions.py file should look like:

from rasa_core_sdk import Action
from rasa_core_sdk.events import SlotSet

class ActionAffirm(Action):
    def name(self):
        return 'action_affirm'

    def run(self, dispatcher, tracker, domain):

            #Do Something you want


        ...
