05 Add intent names

Once we generate the conversation script and add the contextContexts are used in Dialogflow ES to manage the state of th... More names, we need to add suitable intent names to these intentsBoth Dialogflow ES and Dialogflow CX have the concept of int... More.

You can see that these intent and context names follow the naming conventions that I suggest.

Note: as you can see from the flowchart, the rounded rectangle represents an intent

Once you name these intents in the flowchart, it becomes easier to translate your flowchart into a Dialogflow ES bot without missing any information.

Add the intent name 1 identify.vertebrate into the first line of the node as shown below

We add numbers to the intent to make it easier to translate the flowchart into Dialogflow ES intents later.

Add a bold font and some color which will help you easily distinguish the intent name at a glance

Add a number to the context. While the number in the intent name in the flowchart will be copied into Dialogflow ES, we will not be copying the context number into Dialogflow ES. First, there usually isn’t any need to do it. Second, you want to make the context name as short as possible. Otherwise it becomes very unwieldy inside the Dialogflow console.

Do the same for the other intents in the flowchart

This is what the completed flowchart looks like.

About this website

I created this website to provide training and tools for non-programmers who are building Dialogflow chatbots. 

I have now changed my focus to Vertex AI Search, which I think is a natural evolution from chatbots.

BotFlo was previously called MiningBusinessData. That is why you see that watermark in many of my previous videos.
