Hi @bhuratsidhu , taking a cue from the following…

> > In this case, the action server is using an action message definition called _ **Fibonacci.action** _ . That message has been created by ROS into its _ **actionlib\_tutorials** _ package.  
> > `from actionlib_tutorials.msg import FibonacciFeedback, FibonacciResult, FibonacciAction`

…you can import you action messages thus:

```auto
from custom_action_msg.msg import RecordOdomFeedback ... # add the rest :)

```
