Create Entity
Use the Create Entity action to create an entity in your Dialogflow account.
Prerequisite
Before using the
Create Entity action in your workflow, ensure that you create your
Dialogflow agent.
Complete the following steps to use the Create Entity action in your workflow:
1. Drag the
Create Entity action under
Dialogflow to the canvas, place the pointer on the action, and then click
or double-click the action. The Create Entity window opens.
2. Edit the Label, if needed. By default, the label name is the same as the action name.
If you previously added a connector type, select the appropriate Connector Type, and under Connector Name, select the connector.
4. Click TEST to validate the connector.
5. Click
MAP CONNECTOR to execute the action using a connector that is different from the one that you are using to populate the input fields. In the
Runtime Connector field, provide a valid Dialogflow connector name. For more information about
MAP CONNECTOR, see
Using Map Connector.
6. In the Agent list, select an agent from your Dialogflow account.
7. In the Name field, provide the name of the entity. The entity name supports A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ (underscore), - (dash) without any spaces.
8. In the Kind list, select the kind of entity type:
◦ Select Kind Map to provide a single or multiple synonyms for each value.
◦ Select Kind List to provide a single value for each synonym.
◦ Select Kind RegExp to provide a single value for each synonym in regular expression format. You do not need to provide the synonym for every value.
9. Under the Entities section, provide the entities that must be associated with the entity type.
Select Form to provide inputs for individual input fields listed in the form, or select Assign JSON to specify a single JSON with all required inputs.
If you chose Form |
---|
a. In the Value field, provide the value of the entry. b. In the Synonym field, provide a comma-separated list of synonyms for the specified value. Click Add to add multiple entities. Click to delete any entity that you added. |
OR
If you chose Assign JSON |
---|
In the Entities field, enter all required inputs in the [{"value":"string", "synonyms":"string"}] format. |
10. In the
Auto Expansion Mode list, select
Default Mode to enable
automated expansion of the entity type. The default is set to
Unspecified Mode, which indicates that automated expansion is disabled, by default.
If you have set Kind to Kind RegExp and you set this to true, the action fails.
12. Click Done.
