Google Cloud Dialogflow V2 Client - Class ConversationsClient (1.10.2)

Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Dialogflow V2 Client class ConversationsClient.

Service Description: Service for managing Conversations.

This class provides the ability to make remote calls to the backing service through method calls that map to API methods.

Many parameters require resource names to be formatted in a particular way. To assist with these names, this class includes a format method for each type of name, and additionally a parseName method to extract the individual identifiers contained within formatted names that are returned by the API.

This class is currently experimental and may be subject to changes. See Google\Cloud\Dialogflow\V2\ConversationsClient for the stable implementation

Namespace

Google \ Cloud \ Dialogflow \ V2 \ Client

Methods

__construct

Constructor.

Parameters
Name	Description
`options`	`array` Optional. Options for configuring the service API wrapper.
`↳ apiEndpoint`	`string` The address of the API remote host. May optionally include the port, formatted as "
`↳ credentials`	`string\|array\|FetchAuthTokenInterface\|CredentialsWrapper` The credentials to be used by the client to authorize API calls. This option accepts either a path to a credentials file, or a decoded credentials file as a PHP array. Advanced usage: In addition, this option can also accept a pre-constructed Google\Auth\FetchAuthTokenInterface object or Google\ApiCore\CredentialsWrapper object. Note that when one of these objects are provided, any settings in $credentialsConfig will be ignored.
`↳ credentialsConfig`	`array` Options used to configure credentials, including auth token caching, for the client. For a full list of supporting configuration options, see Google\ApiCore\CredentialsWrapper::build() .
`↳ disableRetries`	`bool` Determines whether or not retries defined by the client configuration should be disabled. Defaults to `false`.
`↳ clientConfig`	`string\|array` Client method configuration, including retry settings. This option can be either a path to a JSON file, or a PHP array containing the decoded JSON data. By default this settings points to the default client config file, which is provided in the resources folder.
`↳ transport`	`string\|TransportInterface` The transport used for executing network requests. May be either the string `rest` or `grpc`. Defaults to `grpc` if gRPC support is detected on the system. Advanced usage: Additionally, it is possible to pass in an already instantiated Google\ApiCore\Transport\TransportInterface object. Note that when this object is provided, any settings in $transportConfig, and any $apiEndpoint setting, will be ignored.
`↳ transportConfig`	`array` Configuration options that will be used to construct the transport. Options for each supported transport type should be passed in a key for that transport. For example: $transportConfig = [ 'grpc' => [...], 'rest' => [...], ]; See the Google\ApiCore\Transport\GrpcTransport::build() and Google\ApiCore\Transport\RestTransport::build() methods for the supported options.
`↳ clientCertSource`	`callable` A callable which returns the client cert as a string. This can be used to provide a certificate and private key to the transport layer for mTLS.

completeConversation

Completes the specified conversation. Finished conversations are purged from the database after 30 days.

The async variant is Google\Cloud\Dialogflow\V2\Client\ConversationsClient::completeConversationAsync() .

Parameters
Name	Description
`request`	`Google\Cloud\Dialogflow\V2\CompleteConversationRequest` A request to house fields associated with the call.
`callOptions`	`array` Optional.
`↳ retrySettings`	`RetrySettings\|array` Retry settings to use for this call. Can be a Google\ApiCore\RetrySettings object, or an associative array of retry settings parameters. See the documentation on Google\ApiCore\RetrySettings for example usage.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\Cloud\Dialogflow\V2\Conversation`

createConversation

Creates a new conversation. Conversations are auto-completed after 24 hours.

Conversation Lifecycle: There are two stages during a conversation: Automated Agent Stage and Assist Stage.

For Automated Agent Stage, there will be a dialogflow agent responding to user queries.

For Assist Stage, there's no dialogflow agent responding to user queries. But we will provide suggestions which are generated from conversation.

If Conversation.conversation_profile is configured for a dialogflow agent, conversation will start from Automated Agent Stage, otherwise, it will start from Assist Stage. And during Automated Agent Stage, once an Intent with Intent.live_agent_handoff is triggered, conversation will transfer to Assist Stage.
