Even after using the phrase
Talk to Abhijit Kar
I keep getting: this action is not available in simulation
I have verified the google account as well.
I arrived at the test page using Test Draft Button.
Thanks to Nick Felker, I understood that whatever the app's name maybe, in this case Abhijit.
For testing we need to say talk to my test app.

Until now I was using MailSlurp for this task but it has limits when using the basic plan.
Is there any other way that would solve the problem?
Test Case Steps:
Register user with random email
Go to the created email address and click the activation link sent by the app
I found the solution.
I used a small library called gmail-tester https://www.npmjs.com/package/gmail-tester, and it does its job perfectly.
I've had a problem with configuring it but in the end, it's working.
I can check now has user received an email, and assert the content of the emails.
You can use faker to generate a random word and then just add that word to the end of your email with a + it would look something like this
cy.get('someElement').type(`something+${faker.random.words(1)}#example.com`);
Then you can just navigate to your own email address and click the link from there. The only issue you are going to have is that you wont be able to do this all is the same test case as cypress does not support cross browser testing.
Also Im not sure if the activation link redirects you or not, but if it does you wont be able to navigate to that link either.
Here is an awesome article showing how you can use MailTrap to do this:

We are working on project using Google Home.
Details:
We have built certain intents in Dialog Flow. It has certain follow-up questions to get the parameter values, as a multi-turn dialogue. When testing using Dialog Flow, test console, I am asking
Can you help in booking a table: It prompts back with right question (Where do you want to book a table) as configured in Dialog Flow
Where do you want to book a table : I answer - "Some Restaurant". It prompts back with right question (When do you want to book a table) as configured in Dialog Flow
When do you want to book a table: I answer: "Today" . It prompts back with right question (For how many guests) as configured in Dialog Flow.
For how many guests? - I answer: "4 people." It ends the conversation, as configured in Dialog Flow.
The above conversation works perfectly fine as expected.
When I test using the integration for Google Home (using simulator with action SDK) [See how it works in Google Assistant]
Invoke the app (by using the explicit invocation - Talk to [APP NAME]) - App gets invoked with the right greeting message as configured
After that when I ask the questions as mentioned - above - app leaves the conversation? Nothing is answered back.
Not sure why this issue is happening - anything I am missing in the configuration?
Walk through your intents and make sure the 'set this intent to end conversation' is not set to enabled in Dialogflow (and if you're using a webhook not ending there). Look down at the Responses section in DF.
Start with Welcome Default intent, and then check each intent, all follow-up prompts.
For personal gmail accounts, the Web&App activity, when turned on, it automatically gets enabled.
For gsuite accounts, even when the Web&App activity turned on, it needs to be enabled by the admin of that organization. Only after when it is enabled, the simulator will behave as expected.
I think Actions straight up doesn't work for some (all?) Gsuite accounts, regardless of what permissions you set. Google knows but doesn't care. I spent weeks in an Actions support conversation on this topic and they ultimately punted me to the Gsuite team, who couldn't help. See also:
Sorry, this action is not available in simulation
Actions on Google won't respond to explicit invocations
My test invocation name is "Mrs Tang", so i input "Talk to Mrs Tang", but it responds "Sorry, this action is not available in simulation"...
Does anybody know How can I resolve this error?
According to the doc:
Turn on the Web & App Activity, Device Information, and Voice & Audio
Activity permissions on the Activity controls page for your Google
account. You need to do this to use the Actions Simulator, which lets
you test your actions on the web without a hardware device.
And I had do what Jeremy Gordon suggested. To add a second google account in the GCP IAM console with a viewer action permission and then login with this second google account in an incognito window for the web simulator to work.
I had a related problem (I could test with my main developer account, but not my test credentials). I eventually got it working with the non-primary account.
The missing link for me was that when I was viewing the simulator, I was actually signed in to two accounts, my primary google account (developer account, shows up in the main frame of the page, upper right corner), and the account I authorized when 'starting' the simulator (email address shows up in the simulator frame), which was my test credentials. The second test account repeatedly gave me the "Sorry, this action is not supported in simulation" message, until I:
1) Added the test account as a Conversation API Viewer & Client in GCP IAM console
2) Visited the 'create link' (the one that comes up when you click share) in an incognito window, and signed into the secondary account there such that I was signed into only one account in that incognito window.
After that, invocations connected to the app.
Make sure you are logged into the same account you used to deploy the test action and that the deployment has been done within the past half hour or so. If you have not set all the information on the Actions on Google Console, you may need to use the invocation phrase "Talk to my test app".
I think sometimes I run into the same error. I get past it by toggling the Active switch off and on.
Same problem I encountered. You must be logged in via the secondary google account. Do logout from the account and login via the account that is paired with api.ai.
why I can't use google action in web simulator
I got this to work by saying "talk to my test app" or typing it in to the simulator prompt, that triggered my app to start in the simulator.
I had the same problem. I needed to set the location first (it defaults to Google-Headquaters), if you are in some other region (like in germany as i am).
Then go on with "Mit meiner Test-App sprechen" (Talk to my test app), or whatever it is in your language!
I did not get this message on my invocation, but on my my second input:"Sorry, this action is not available for your app.".
It turns out the simulator had left the conversation right after the invocation (and it did mention that in the small print).
This happened because I returned a FinalResponse for the invocation. And a final response is pretty final, it will terminate your conversation.
So, after a FinalResponse you can only get back in your action/conversation by a new invocation or a deep link. If you want to suggest questions/inputs, then you should return ExpectedInputs.
You might need to turn on Web & App Activity to let group members use some Google Assistant features.(if you are using organizational account)
https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/7219584?hl=en
If you are using any organization's Google Accounts then there might be an access issue. So use your own personal Gmail account.
Take a look here, organization's might not be given you access. So use your personal Gmail and follow the Docs, you will able to create your agent/ actions and able to test it with simulator as well as in android device.
At time of testing the Google Action you need to set the location to the country which you selected while developing or submitting your Google Action.
By default US is selected in testing but if your action is for one particular country only then you need to select that. You can see in image the field where you can select location
We are building a SaaS solution which runs on SaaS.com for example. Our software should be white label for our resellers and their costumers. The costumers of our resellers are stored in an specific database witch is different for each reseller.
The reseller creates a button on his website [Login] which sends the customer resellerID.my.saas.com Our software gets the resellerID and selects the corresponding branding and database. This all works fine in an development environment at the moment.
We have only 1 thing which we need to solve and that is the url what the customer of the reseller sees in his browser. This is (after logging in) my.saas.com
We want that the customer of the reseller sees the domain of the reseller after they are redirected to our link (resellerid.my.saas.com), for example my.reseller.com
I googled a lot and asked our and 3th party developers how to solve this. Till now the only solution we found is using an iframe which has not our preference. This becouse this is not optimal for mobile views? and is out dated, isn't it?
I also tried to solve this with dns which i couldn't get done.
Is there any way to achieve what we want and when yes, how can we implement?
Hope on usefull responds becouse this part is verry crusial for our business.
Thanks in advance, Rogé
So, a friend of mine told me they have been using Facebook ads to post a deep link to send a whatsapp message and ask for the information about the ad via whatsapp. Bad news: this friend is not very tech savvy so that's all he knows.
Now, the subject actually caught my eye so I started researching. Unfortunately: official documentation states the url scheme for whatsapp is something like:
whatsapp://send?text=WHATEVER_YOU_WANT&abid=RECIPIENT_ADDRESSBOOK_ID
Now: big issue is that the abid (Adress Book ID) is relative to each phone and obeys only to the order each one was added to the specific phone we're talking about. In this case, the contact I want to send the message is 402. But 402 on each of your mobile devices will be any other person. Not the one you want to be.
So I reached the abid by downloading iMazing and sqlitebrowser and making a backup of my iPhone using the iMazing backup tool to then extract the ChatStorage.sqlite from said backup and looking into the sql database. I found that each contact does have an e-mail address time ID named ZCONTACTJID (NUMBERWITHOUT+#s.whatsapp.net) and another id named ZETAG (w:APPARENTLYRANDOMNUMBER;)
Is anyone of you familiar with such ID's or do have a way to make a deep link useful for send a message to a specific number?
Thanks!
For someone like me who is still looking for it, the following link seems to work -
Ping me on WhatsApp
Note: Use the parameter 'phone' and pass the actual phone number value instead of Adress Book ID.
It opens the contact in WhatsApp app, along with the message 'Hello World!' prepopulated in the input text box. The link works even if the phone number is not a valid contact in the phone's contact list.
(Tested this with google chrome on an android phone.)
The WhatsApp ABID is actually the standard iOS ABRecord (source). You can get that programmatically if you're writing a native iOS app, but unfortunately there's no way to access it within the context of a Facebook ad. And in any case, the abid is totally unsupported on WhatsApp Android (source).
A workaround would be to specify the number to send to within the message text, so that the user can enter it manually. Hacky, but maybe better than nothing...
Maybe you should better use the official Whatsapp API mentioned in THIS OTHER ANSWER (because S.O. policies I had to put a link to the solution, no duplicates).
Check this out. This is the updated one...
https://wa.me/<PHONE NUMBER WITH COUNTRY CODE/>?text=<MESSAGE />
For me something else worked:
intent://send/+31612345678#Intent;scheme=smsto;package=com.whatsapp;action=android.intent.action.SENDTO;end
