Using Webhooks with API.AI (Mashape) - dialogflow-es

I would like to know how to code and deploy API's obtained from Mashape, and use them as fulfillment in Api.ai.
Thanks a million for you response.

You can fulfill an intent by having the response for each intent satisifed by your mashapge url.
For integration via webhooks/api's , api.ai allows your to configure only 1 URL/Domain.
If you have multiple mashape APIs you will not be able to serve multiple intents with different urls.

Dialogflow query working in console but not when you use embedded url

I have made a query flow in dialogflow and it has four intent and in the last intent it uses a webhook to get data from server side and displays the result. It is trained automatically and works perfectly in dialogflow console returning response and query answer. The issue is it does not work when I use embedded url. It fails to recognize the name intent and asks (Can you repeat again or fallback intent). I've removed all intents and made query again, there is no similar name intents. Yet it works well in console and not in embedded url.
For the webhook part I've used node.js service.
Please help in this issue.
By 'embedded url' if you mean Dialogflow Web Demo (DWD), you should keep in mind that DWD can be used only for simple text messages. It does not support messages from webhook or even rich responses. However, if you steel need a web widget to embed your bot to your webpage you either create your own or you should use third party solutions (like Kommunicate). Here's the link regarding the limitations of DWD.

Dialogflow- chatbot related queries

I've created a basic app with a chatbot that can respond to what I type using DialogFlow and Angular. It is hosted locally. Now I want to have that chatbot respond to what I type with cards, lists and such. Like how Messenger has templates. I want to have a custom payload sent to me in response to what I send. Can anyone please help me? (NOTE: iam using the v2api)
Dialogflow supports rich message response to only certain platforms that it has listed on its website for ex. Facebook, google assistance etc. To display rich message you need to code it out.

How can I trigger a dialogflow intent inside a javascript code?

I have a chatbot using dialogflow agent. I wrote a javascript back end code for its webhook fulfillment. I checked some condition in this code and if the condition is true I want a special intent to be triggered. How can I do this? What is the correct java script code to triggered an intent inside a java script if statement?
What function do you intend to perform by triggering an intent? Diaglogflow has v1 & v2 API references for this. You can do GET/POST/PUT/DELETE operations by triggering an intent using ajax call in your javascript code. Please read more about this here https://dialogflow.com/docs/reference/agent/intents
To make things clearer, DialogFlow intents are triggered by querying using the query API (https://dialogflow.com/docs/reference/agent/query)
Note: V1 of the DialogFlow API will deprecate soon, and will be replaced by V2 which is using gRPC.
This means that if you wish to trigger the intent programmatically and have the fulfilment triggered as well, you should have the following:
Script (can be on JavaScript as you would like to) with REST API request (doable using the Axios library) to the DialogFlow Query API.
DialogFlow will pick up the query, runs it through and triggers the Intent (if the query matches the intent).
In processing the intent, because there is a fulfilment, DialogFlow will run the fulfilment, which is another API/webhook call to your server hosted somewhere.
Your server will pick up the API request, and process accordingly.
Try out the Query API from DialogFlow and see if it works out for you.
Okay, I am late here, but I have used the below approach to encounter such a situation.
You can use custom event and intent chaining.
I followed the below URL and implemented the same. Maybe this help someone.

How to integrate api.ai bot with any booking site to book/order something?

I've made a chatbot who can talk to people and make a normal conversation. I want to develop that chatbot so that user is able to, say order a pizza from Dominoz.com or Book a ticket on expedia or add something to cart in ebay.
I've made the bot using Google's Api.Ai (diagflow). How can I integrate it with any site performing some kind of transaction. Answer with an example booking/ordering site would be highly appreciated.
Just for additional info: I think it is possible by that webhook option in fulfillment section. But how exactly? How to implement it?
You should check if there are APIs available for ordering/booking through Expedia/eBay. Dominos have exposed their APIs for ordering purposes. Following is the link for bot ordering pizza & node-dominos-api

Webhook in Dialogflow is something where your actual logic lies. You can write it in any language you're confident of & host it somewhere for Dialogflow to communicate with it. There are 2 API references v1 & v2. Your web service receives a POST request from Dialogflow. Your request/response to/from webhook should include mandatory fields mentioned at following links:

Google Actions with custom webhook

I have built a small conversational bot using API.AI with Node.js as the back end. So every time a user makes a request it goes to my server and then from my server to API.Ai and it follows the same route with a response.
Now, I want to integrate it with Google Actions. But, Google Actions allows me to use API.AI as my webhook whereas I want Google Actions to talk to my server.
I have checked everywhere and can't find the correct process. Any, help will be appreciated in Integrating Actions with custom webhook instead of API.API
The normal way it would work would be to have the Google servers for the Assistant talk to API.AI, and then API.AI would call your webhook. This lets API.AI do all of the natural language processing (NLP) and not have you attempt to write this part yourself to load into the Actions console.
Your API.AI project and your Action project need to be the same - if not, you can create a new Action project using the same project as API.AI, or you can export the contents of your API.AI project and import it into a new one.
Your API.AI project also needs to have the Actions on Google Integration turned on. From the left menu, select Integrations and then the Actions on Google tile and turn it on.
However
If you want to send things through your server, and then have your server call the API.AI API yourself, you can certainly do this. You would develop against the Actions SDK and provide an actions.json file which describes the intents and webhook to use.
