Get parameters from Actions On Google's List in DialogFlow - actions-on-google

I'm trying to get a parameter from actions on google's list in dialogflow. (Without using a Webhook) Is that possible? I created some intents to test and that's not working at all, neither the input nor the vocal choise. The parameter received is always null.
Here's my test intent:
Intent Structure
Prova List's Object 1
Prova - custom Events and Phrases
Prova - custom Response
Actions on Google simulator
Without the value $num everithing works properly...

How to properly send event parameters with Facebook Server Events

I am setting Facebook Pixel for the first time with the Conversions API and all my TestEvents are correct and I am receiving the events I am supposed to. But in every event under "Overview" I have this error:
No event parameters were detected. Use Test events to view the parameters of an individual event trigger.
I am new to this so I don't even know if this is an error or if it should work like that.
I am having a similar problem.
I am sending Custom Events. The Pixel and Server events are successfully deduplicating. Custom parameters are within both tags, however while the custom parameters are successfully being sent (& are hence visible in Events Manager Test Events) by the Pixel tags, the custom parameters are missing when viewing the Server Events in Test Events.
I have used both Custom HTML tags originally, and now the Facebook tag template, but and have endlessly tweaked the settings, but just cannot resolve this.
Let me know if you made progress!

Why my actions on Google doesn't recognize touch selection?

I'm writing a simple action on google without any webhooks. Every response is generated by dialogflow.
I have an intent that works flawless if I call it by speech or type but if I call it by selecting it from a list it doesn't work and the Default Fallback is called.
In the simulator it show the right "text" when I click on the list.
Have I done something wrong or did I need to specify something in the list?
This is how the list is generated
This is my intent
This is what happens in the simulator if I click on the "easyTravel" item in the list (it trigger the default fallback intent)
This is what happens in the simulator if I type "easyTravel" (the right intent is executed)
To catch a click on a list I need an intent configured to be triggered by the event actions_intent_OPTION
Only once I read this question - and your anwser - I could fix my own problem. Just to share: if you are using a webhook and are waiting for a webhook actions in your script, you can create a new intent, which has the event as #Edo states: actions_intent_OPTION. If you define an action in that intent, this is what will be trigger by your webhook. You can then get the parameter by (node.js):
const param = app.getSelectedOption();
Without the 'empty' intent, with the event and action, I was not receiving any input.

Is there a way to define input context for a Google Action with the Actions SDK?

In the DialogFlow console, you can set an input and output context for an intent.
I would like to have the same functionality using the Actions SDK.
Since I can set the context in my fullfilment webhook in the code, the output SDK is covered.
However, how do I set the input context for an intent to only trigger if that context was fetched?
I could not find this in the documentation examples.
I don't believe you can in the same way, which is part of why they added Dialogflow.
Although as part of your response you can indicate the ExpectedInput for the next Intent, the documentation for the ExpectedIntent makes it clear that your Intents are only used for speech biasing - you'll always get the built-in TEXT Intent.
In fact, this documentation says that you'll only get custom Intents for the initial call - later Intents are always triggered with a built-in one.
Update: One thing you can do is to include information in the response that will be sent back to you in the next request.
If you're using the JavaScript SDK, this is done with the second parameter to ask() and is available via the getDialogState() function.
If you're sending back JSON, this is done using the conversationToken attribute and is available in conversation.conversationToken in the request object you're sent the next round.

Actions on Google not passing parameters

I'm using Dialogflow (previously API.ai) to create an Actions on Google app.
Using Dialogflow I have set up a custom Entity to highlight single words from multiple Intents.
ie. mashable, recode, bbc sport are all words picked up as Entities.
The fulfilment sends a post webhook to an api I created.
When using Dialogflow it sends off
"parameters": {
"news-agent": "BBC Sport"
},
Which is fine, I set up API to detect the parameter and when using Actions on Google simulator
"parameters": {
"news-agent": ""
},
The parameter is blank, I don't see anything in the documentation about why this is happening.
Could someone help?
It's possible that Actions on Google is not picking up a value for the "news-agent" slot.
Try making the "news-agent" slot required in Dialogflow and define a re-prompt question for it.
That way, the event won't be sent to your app unless the "news-agent" slot is filled.

What is better to use with cURL to make parameterized query

I am developing mobile application and now I'm preparing server API.
There will be search bar and user will be able to search other people by using mutliselects, inputs (just like web form).
And now the question is - what type of HTTP request is the most appropriate to send parametrized request to the server (using cURL) and get friends list as response?
I am thinking of using GET, but user will be able to set multiple values for one argument:
state - user can select more than one state
So I thought that using POST with request body in JSON format will be the best.
{"states":["state1", "state2", "state3", ...]}
But reffering to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-16#section-7.5:
POST is designed to allow a uniform method to cover
the following functions:
o Annotation of existing resources;
o Posting a message to a bulletin board, newsgroup, mailing list, or
similar group of articles;
Can anyone advise what type of query should I use?
You can send multi-dimensional data in URLs like:
http://g.com/p.php?arr[]=1&arr[]=2
See:
AngularJS - How to send multidimensional $http.get() data
For another example.
