Chatbots with Dialog Flow

Create a Google DialogFlow Bot

Your DialogFlow bot is going to process the Chat messages via an “Agent” and then return a response in the Chat. To do this we first need to define an “Agent” with Google.

Create a New Agent

Please navigate to https://dialogflow.cloud.google.com/ and click “Create New Agent”.

Create New Intent

Create “Intents” with DialogFlow that tells your Bot what to listen for and how to respond.

Create a “Handoff” intent that will route route the chat from the bot to an agent

Create a Google Service Account

To connect your Chat with DialogFlow you need to create a “Service Account” with Google here https://console.cloud.google.com/home/dashboard

Click the “Create Service Account” Button

Name your Service Account and give it an ID (you can name it anything)

Now select the Role of “DialogFlow API Client” for this Service Account

Create Security Access Keys For your Service Account

For the Chat system to connect to your new Google Service Account we need to generate an access Key. Inside your new Service Account https://console.cloud.google.com/home/dashboard you will will need to click to open the setting for you new Service Account first

Then click the “Keys” tab

Then click “Create New Key”

On the next popup you will make sure the “JSON” option is selected and then click “Create”

Enable the DialogFlow Integration

Now that you have a new Chatbot created in DialogFlow and a ServiceUser to connect to that Chatbot you need to enable the DialogFlow Chatbot integration. For this we need to know the Google “Project ID” and the contents of the “JSON” file from the previous step

Navigate to “Integrations” > “AI” > “Dialog Flow”
