### Remarks

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](https://docs.xenioo.com/basic-concepts/your-account/messages-count#integrations).

The Language field is [fully parsed](https://docs.xenioo.com/actions-and-operations/dynamic-parsing) 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](https://docs.xenioo.com/actions-and-operations/execution/execution-diagram) or inside the chatbot preview [Execution Diagram](https://docs.xenioo.com/actions-and-operations/execution/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](https://docs.xenioo.com/ai/nlp/entities) specified in the detected [expression ](https://docs.xenioo.com/ai/nlp/expressions)will be translated to a runtime variable named after the entity name.
