Adding delays between multiple actions of a story

rasa-core 0.13.7
rasa-core-sdk 0.12.2
rasa-nlu 0.14.6

Python version: 3.6

Operating system (windows, osx, …): osx

Issue: My story has multiple actions and I want to add delay in between the execution of the actions such that my system is not stalled. Adding a delay in the first action could be a solution, but in that case I want to stop sending BOT response if I get a message from the user.

Content of configuration file (config.yml):

import os

policy_model_dir = os.environ.get("POLICY_MODEL_DIR", "models/dialogue/")

rasa_nlu_config = os.environ.get("RASA_NLU_CONFIG", "nlu_config.yml")

account_sid = os.environ.get("ACCOUNT_SID", "")

auth_token = os.environ.get("AUTH_TOKEN", "")

twilio_number = os.environ.get("TWILIO_NUMBER", "")

platform_api = os.environ.get("RASA_API_ENDPOINT_URL", "")

self_port = int(os.environ.get("SELF_PORT", "5001"))

core_model_dir = os.environ.get("CORE_MODEL_DIR", "models/dialogue/")

remote_core_endpoint = os.environ.get("RASA_REMOTE_CORE_ENDPOINT_URL", "")

rasa_core_token = os.environ.get("RASA_CORE_TOKEN", "")

mailchimp_api_key = os.environ.get("MAILCHIMP_API_KEY", "")

mailchimp_list = os.environ.get("MAILCHIMP_LIST", "")

gdrive_credentials = os.environ.get("GDRIVE_CREDENTIALS", "")

access_token = os.environ.get("TELEGRAM_TOKEN", "")

verify = os.environ.get("TELEGRAM_VERIFY", "rasas_bot")

webhook_url = os.environ.get("WEBHOOK_URL",
                             "https://website-demo.rasa.com/webhook")

rasa_platform_token = os.environ.get("RASA_PLATFORM_TOKEN", "")

rasa_nlg_endpoint = os.environ.get("RASA_NLG_ENDPOINT_URL", "")

You have to return the ReminderScheduled event with parameters in your custom action. You can use python libraries to get the current time and increment by x seconds to set the future time.
