During our testing, we were unable to complete at least one of the behaviors or actions advertised by your app. Please make sure that a user can complete all core conversational flows listed in your registration information or recommended by your app.
Thank you for submitting your assistant app for review!
During testing, your app was unable to complete a function detailed in the app’s description. The reviewer interacted with the app by saying: “how many iphones were sold in the UK?” and app replied “I didn't get that. Can you try with other question?" and left conversation.
How can I resolve the above point to approve my Google Assistant action skills?
Without seeing the code in question or the intent you think should be handling this in Dialogflow, it is pretty difficult - but we can generalize.
It sounds like you have two issues:
Your fallback intent that generated the "I didn't get that" message is closing the conversation. This means that either the "close conversation" checkbox is checked in Dialogflow, you're using the app.tell() method when you should be using app.ask() instead, or the JSON you're sending back has close conversation set to true.
You don't have an intent to handle the question about how many iPhones were sold in the UK. This could be because you just don't list anything like that as a sample phrase, or the two parameters (the one for object type and the one for location) aren't using entity types that would match.
It means that somewhere, either in your app description or in a Dialogflow intent(they have full access to see what's in your intents) you hinted that “how many iphones were sold in the UK?” would be a valid question. Try changing the description/intents to properly match the restrictions of your app.

Ok I am using the Dialogflow Essentials and there are several intents are already defined which were integrated with google assistant and these intents works fine,But now I made new intent in Dialogflow and it works fine in try now option but when I tried to integrate it with google assistant (Dialogflow ------> Integrations ------> Google Assistant ------->continue with integration ), I can not see the new intent in the List (pop up with previous intents and their check boxes ). May some one help me to know why the new intent is not visible in the list ?
The following screen shot image shows the corresponding error message
The error message reads:
The maximum number of intents is 10.
You are limited to 10 "deep link" Intents that would be used as part of the Action invocation. These enable you to say things like "Ask Super Action to Turn the lights on". Instead of just "Talk to Super Action" and then, while it is running, asking it to turn the lights on.
You are allowed many more Intents themselves - but just 10 that can be used as part of the invocation phrase.
If this is actually for controlling Smart Home devices, you may wish to look into the Smart Home integration for the Google Assistant instead. This lets people control your devices directly through commands to the Assistant ("Hey Google, Turn on the bedroom lights") instead of having to go through an Action you've written ("Hey Google, Ask Super Home to turn on the bedroom lights"). This method does not involve Dialogflow at all.
I have been working with Google Dialogflow to create a Google Assistant experience.
My GA Action is to Raise Support tickets and those tickets are raised in our system via API.
We ask the user to describe the Issue they are facing, We have used a fallback Intent to capture the Issue/Ticket Description(Since the reply can be any free text, is this the best way to capture free text?).
Once the user gives a description, A webhook is called and the results are sent to our backend to capture.
We have noticed that when the user uses the words "not working" as a part of the issue description, it always calls the welcome intent, instead of going to the follow up Intent. If the user describes the Issue without using those words, it works fine. Below are 2 different responses.
I personally feel that this is a bug in GA, is there any way to solve it?
I think you're doing some things wrong. I don't have enough information to understand 100% what you are doing, but I will try to give you some general advice:
A fallback intent is used to 'fall back' to this intent when a user asks something that is nowhere provided in one of your other intents. That's why your fallback intent has the 'input.unknown' set as action. It will be triggered when the user gives some input that is unknown for your application. F.e. I don't think your '(Pazo) Support Action' will provide an answer if the user asks to book a plane to Iceland, so that's when your fallback intent comes in to give an answer such as 'Sorry, I can't answer that question. Pazo is here to give you support in... What can I do for you?'
Your user can either register a complaint or raise a support ticket if I'm getting this right? I recommend you to make two seperate intents. One to handle the complaints and one to handle the support tickets.
Before developing advanced actions with a seperate webhook and a lot of logic with calling an API etc., I recommend to go through the documentation of Actions on Google:
https://developers.google.com/actions/extending-the-assistant
I'm designing a helpdesk chatbot in dialogflow and currently training it with existing data from my ticketing system. What is the best practice for handling inputs that contain multiple intents? Here is an example with the intents in bold:
"Hi, my name is John Doe and I'm a first year student. I want to know where to register for classes and also reset my enterprise password. Please help."
So is the solution to ask people to keep things simple up front? I think currently dialogflow will point the user to one of the intents above, but i'm not sure how it decides which intent to match with.
You will probably have one intent for each feature that your bot offers, i.e. RegisterClass, ResetPassword etc. In that case there is no good* way to handle the case where someone asks for two things at once, your users will have to limit themselves to one request at a time. You can however use a fallback intent to explain this at runtime. This intent would be triggered if a users utterances matches none of the other intents and could give the user a quick explanation like
"Sorry, I didn't get that. Please tell me what you would like to do,
e.g. 'register a class' or 'change my password'"
This would keep a natural conversation going and alleviate the need to "train" users specifically for your agent.
*You could of course add combined intents like RegisterClassAndChangePassword, but that would become very clumsy and most likely not work reliably. You could also try to parse the request in your backend, but then you would essentially circumvent Dialogflow's core feature.
We are using bot trees master which uses bot graph dialog for loading graph based dialogs dynamically. We have created a scenario to load multiple intents(whose intents scores are nearly matching). Now the problem I am facing is when I request for single intent , I am getting the bot response and able to enter into next intent but when I request for multiple intents bot is giving the response and when I request for another intent , bot is giving the same response of multiple intents. When bot is entering into multiple intent handler it is not clearing the session and not coming out of that handler. I have tried using session.endConversation().
To understand about bot graph dialog:

Can somebody help on this. Thank you
the builder.IntentDialog() used in this project is no longer considered a best practice. Additionally, further support is not expected. Instead, you will want to use bot.Dialog() to create your dialog flows with a .triggerAction(). The trigger matches on phrases which you can set a score to. Unfortunately, it means you will need to recreate the bot-trees project to fit this new model.
You can find information on managing conversations here, including creating triggers.
If you need a more robust system, you can integrate LUIS into your project. Information regarding recognizing intents with LUIS can be found here.
I have a Actions on Google project that uses api.ai for its actions. This is working well and I can see request/responses appear on the google assistant interface (On mobiles and simulator)
One of my usecases for api.ai needs to broken into 2 parts, in that we have to inform the user that the processing has started and then inform them again once its completed (without them reprompting for the output).
Im trying for a way to inform the user who is using the Google assistant when the processing is completed, but have failed so far. Something like this
User: I would like to see if my loan request is approved
Google Assistant: Hold on, let me check and let u know .
.... (Makes a webservice call to the backend asynchronously)
.... After few seconds ...
.... Postback to google assistant from the webservice
Google Assistant: Thanks for holding, your request is approved.
Im not sure how to do the "postback to google assistant" call. I have tried to get the SessionId from the Api.AI call and then use that to make a event request , but that doesnt seem to send the response to the assistant. Google Assistant seems to be using the formats defined in https://developers.google.com/actions/reference/rest/Shared.Types/AppRequest, but Im unsure how to get the ConversationToken and use that for sending the response back to the user.
Short answer: you can't do that.
Slightly longer answer: At least right now, there is no good way to send a notification. Your Action can only respond to a specific statement from the user. You can say something like "ask again in a minute and I should have a result for you", but that isn't a great experience. At Google I/O 2017, they announced that notifications would be coming to the Google Home at some point... but gave neither a time frame nor any information about an API.
Long, but probably still unsatisfying answer: You can look into Transactions which let them initiate purchase or request of some sort and then "check out". Once they have checked out, you would confirm that a transaction is being processed with an OrderUpdates and then can send updates with the status of the "order". These status updates can turn into notifications or user's can query the state of the order at any time. Transactions don't require payment, so this may work depending on your needs.
However, there are a few things to note. This is still in developer preview, so things may change in the future. It also doesn't work on all surfaces where the Assistant runs, so while it does work on Assistant on phones, it does not work on the Google Home right now.
