Class Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::Flow (v0.6.0)

Flows represents the conversation flows when you build your chatbot agent.

A flow consists of many pages connected by the transition routes. Conversations always start with the built-in Start Flow (with an all-0 ID). Transition routes can direct the conversation session from the current flow (parent flow) to another flow (sub flow). When the sub flow is finished, Dialogflow will bring the session back to the parent flow, where the sub flow is started.

Usually, when a transition route is followed by a matched intent, the intent will be "consumed". This means the intent won't activate more transition routes. However, when the followed transition route moves the conversation session into a different flow, the matched intent can be carried over and to be consumed in the target flow.

Methods

#description

def description() -> ::String
Returns
  • (::String) — The description of the flow. The maximum length is 500 characters. If exceeded, the request is rejected.

#description=

def description=(value) -> ::String
Parameter
  • value (::String) — The description of the flow. The maximum length is 500 characters. If exceeded, the request is rejected.
Returns
  • (::String) — The description of the flow. The maximum length is 500 characters. If exceeded, the request is rejected.

#display_name

def display_name() -> ::String
Returns
  • (::String) — Required. The human-readable name of the flow.

#display_name=

def display_name=(value) -> ::String
Parameter
  • value (::String) — Required. The human-readable name of the flow.
Returns
  • (::String) — Required. The human-readable name of the flow.

#event_handlers

def event_handlers() -> ::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::EventHandler>
Returns
  • (::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::EventHandler>) — A flow's event handlers serve two purposes:

    • They are responsible for handling events (e.g. no match, webhook errors) in the flow.
    • They are inherited by every page's [event handlers][Page.event_handlers], which can be used to handle common events regardless of the current page. Event handlers defined in the page have higher priority than those defined in the flow.

    Unlike transition_routes, these handlers are evaluated on a first-match basis. The first one that matches the event get executed, with the rest being ignored.

#event_handlers=

def event_handlers=(value) -> ::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::EventHandler>
Parameter
  • value (::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::EventHandler>) — A flow's event handlers serve two purposes:

    • They are responsible for handling events (e.g. no match, webhook errors) in the flow.
    • They are inherited by every page's [event handlers][Page.event_handlers], which can be used to handle common events regardless of the current page. Event handlers defined in the page have higher priority than those defined in the flow.

    Unlike transition_routes, these handlers are evaluated on a first-match basis. The first one that matches the event get executed, with the rest being ignored.

Returns
  • (::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::EventHandler>) — A flow's event handlers serve two purposes:

    • They are responsible for handling events (e.g. no match, webhook errors) in the flow.
    • They are inherited by every page's [event handlers][Page.event_handlers], which can be used to handle common events regardless of the current page. Event handlers defined in the page have higher priority than those defined in the flow.

    Unlike transition_routes, these handlers are evaluated on a first-match basis. The first one that matches the event get executed, with the rest being ignored.

#name

def name() -> ::String
Returns
  • (::String) — The unique identifier of the flow. Format: projects/<Project ID>/locations/<Location ID>/agents/<Agent ID>/flows/<Flow ID>.

#name=

def name=(value) -> ::String
Parameter
  • value (::String) — The unique identifier of the flow. Format: projects/<Project ID>/locations/<Location ID>/agents/<Agent ID>/flows/<Flow ID>.
Returns
  • (::String) — The unique identifier of the flow. Format: projects/<Project ID>/locations/<Location ID>/agents/<Agent ID>/flows/<Flow ID>.

#nlu_settings

def nlu_settings() -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::NluSettings
Returns

#nlu_settings=

def nlu_settings=(value) -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::NluSettings
Parameter
Returns

#transition_route_groups

def transition_route_groups() -> ::Array<::String>
Returns
  • (::Array<::String>) — A flow's transition route group serve two purposes:

    • They are responsible for matching the user's first utterances in the flow.
    • They are inherited by every page's [transition route groups][Page.transition_route_groups]. Transition route groups defined in the page have higher priority than those defined in the flow.

    Format:projects/<Project ID>/locations/<Location ID>/agents/<Agent ID>/flows/<Flow ID>/transitionRouteGroups/<TransitionRouteGroup ID>.

#transition_route_groups=

def transition_route_groups=(value) -> ::Array<::String>
Parameter
  • value (::Array<::String>) — A flow's transition route group serve two purposes:

    • They are responsible for matching the user's first utterances in the flow.
    • They are inherited by every page's [transition route groups][Page.transition_route_groups]. Transition route groups defined in the page have higher priority than those defined in the flow.

    Format:projects/<Project ID>/locations/<Location ID>/agents/<Agent ID>/flows/<Flow ID>/transitionRouteGroups/<TransitionRouteGroup ID>.

Returns
  • (::Array<::String>) — A flow's transition route group serve two purposes:

    • They are responsible for matching the user's first utterances in the flow.

#transition_routes

def transition_routes() -> ::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::TransitionRoute>
Returns
  • (::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::CX::V3::TransitionRoute>) — A flow's transition routes serve two purposes:

    • They are responsible for matching the user's first utterances in the flow.
    • They are inherited by every page's [transition routes][Page.transition_routes] and can support use cases such as the user saying "help" or "can I talk to a human?", which can be handled in a common way regardless of the current page.
