public sealed class Intent : IMessage<Intent>, IEquatable<Intent>, IDeepCloneable<Intent>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Dialogflow v3 API class Intent.
An intent represents a user's intent to interact with a conversational agent.
You can provide information for the Dialogflow API to use to match user input
to an intent by adding training phrases (i.e., examples of user input) to
your intent.
Indicates whether this is a fallback intent. Currently only default
fallback intent is allowed in the agent, which is added upon agent
creation.
Adding training phrases to fallback intent is useful in the case of
requests that are mistakenly matched, since training phrases assigned to
fallback intents act as negative examples that triggers no-match event.
The key/value metadata to label an intent. Labels can contain
lowercase letters, digits and the symbols '-' and '_'. International
characters are allowed, including letters from unicase alphabets. Keys must
start with a letter. Keys and values can be no longer than 63 characters
and no more than 128 bytes.
Prefix "sys-" is reserved for Dialogflow defined labels. Currently allowed
Dialogflow defined labels include:
sys-head
sys-contextual
The above labels do not require value. "sys-head" means the intent is a
head intent. "sys.contextual" means the intent is a contextual intent.
The unique identifier of the intent.
Required for the
[Intents.UpdateIntent][google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.Intents.UpdateIntent]
method.
[Intents.CreateIntent][google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.Intents.CreateIntent]
populates the name automatically.
