Dialogflow Input Action

This action will parse any user text through Dialogflow engine. The conversation will hold until the user correctly reply to the configured intent or it is skipped using another intent or simple text.

Settings

The action uses the following settings:

Display fallback reply in chat	If enabled, Xenioo will display a message bubble with the text you've specified as possible fallback intent reply on Dialogflow.	⛔
Max Wrong Answers	The maximum number of wrong inputs the user can send before the question is skipped. Set to 0 (zero) to never give up on wrong inputs.	✅

Remarks

This action is halting the conversation. The chatbot is halted at the input point and will not proceed unless the conditions specified in the settings are met.

Use * (asterisk) in the Intent Name field to catch any DialogFlow intent instead of a specific one.

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.

The Language field is fully parsed 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 or inside the chatbot preview Execution Diagram.

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 specified in the detected expression will be translated to a runtime variable named after the entity name.
