# Dialogflow Detection Action

This action will parse any user text through Dialogflow engine. The conversation will not hold as a direct input. This action will trigger whenever the user text matches the configured intent.

| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| API Version                  | Choose either V1 or V2, depending on the version of your Dialogflow Agent.                                                    | :no\_entry:                                          |
| API Access Token             | The API Token required to integrate your Version 1 Dialogflow Agent or the full Google Auth Json authorization file contents. | :white\_check\_mark:                                 |
| Project Id                   | The Dialogflow Project Id                                                                                                     | :white\_check\_mark:                                 |
| Language                     | The language of your agent. Make sure to select the same language you've configured on your agent.                            | :white\_check\_mark:                                 |
| Intent Name                  | The full name of the intent that will trigger this action. Use an asterisk (\*) to trigger on any intent                      | :white\_check\_mark:                                 |
| Detection Confidence         | The minimum confidence required to trigger this action                                                                        | :no\_entry:                                          |

### Remarks

When used inside an [interaction](/basic-concepts/the-chatbot-designer/interactions_concepts.md) or [behavior](/basic-concepts/the-chatbot-designer/behaviours_concepts.md), this action **is not blocking.** The conversation is not halted and the user can continue freely. If you want to stop the user until the question requirements have been met, you can use the [Dialogflow Input action](/actions-and-operations/input/dialogflow/xenioo.bots.actions.dialogflow.dialogflowinputaction.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Use \* (asterisk) in the Intent Name field to catch any DialogFlow intent instead of a specific one.
{% endhint %}

This action is optimized to use Dialogflow only once per user input. Even using multiple Dialogflow Detection actions will result in a single Dialogflow API Call. Every Dialogflow API call will count as an [additional chatbot message](/basic-concepts/your-account/messages-count.md#integrations).

The Language field is [fully parsed](/actions-and-operations/dynamic-parsing.md) to be dynamic so you can set your Dialogflow language dynamically at runtime. 

Any integration issue that Xenioo encounters during Dialogflow calls can be found inside each conversation [Execution Diagram](/actions-and-operations/execution/execution-diagram.md) or inside the chatbot preview [Execution Diagram](/actions-and-operations/execution/execution-diagram.md).

### Trigger

On Intent Detected. This action will trigger any child operation as soon as the user input is matching the selected intent with at least the specified confidence.

### Variables

This action produces the following variables after being triggered:

| Variable             | Description                             |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| df\_detected\_action | The action detected during last input   |
| df\_detected\_intent | The intent detected during last input   |
| df\_reply            | The intent reply received by Dialogflow |

Every [entity](/ai/nlp/entities.md) specified in the detected [expression ](/ai/nlp/expressions.md)will be translated to a runtime variable named after the entity name.
