What are "implicit triggers" in a Google Action package? - actions-on-google

My Google Action was rejected. One of the reasons was:
Your agent has too many implicit triggers in it's action package. Please limit the number of query patterns in your action package which do not include your invocation name to less than 10.
My userSays object includes around 30 phrases because I used API.AI's training system so that my assistant would understand any type of input from the user and extract the parameters needed. Is this what Google is referring to. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, this is likely the issue you are running into. API.AI is creating an action package for your project behind the scenes. If you want to learn more about it, take a look at the Actions SDK docs.

Roblox plugin: How do I redirect the plugin user to a certain website?

I am currently making a Roblox plugin and I have created a help button. However, I want to redirect users to a webpage (let's say, example.com). Through all of the API pages that I browsed through, I could not find anything. Is it possible to do so? And if so, how do I do it?
As of January 2023, this is not a supported use case for developers.
There are a number of adjacent features that are close but really don't work for what you're going for :
The plugin object has a function to OpenWikiPage() but this is only for internal documentation.
HttpService
is unable to launch any non-http protocols, so you cannot use it to
launch an external program either.
GuiService has a deprecated, internal function OpenBrowserWindow(), but only CoreScripts can use that.
There's now a BrowserService with the function OpenBrowserWindow(), but similar to GuiService, this is only for internal use.
The only workaround I could imagine would be to fetch the contents of the page and display it in a TextLabel, which supports Rich Text.

Integrating Dialogflow with an already existing project on actions on Google

First of all, thanks for taking the time to read through our issue.
So, we have a Dialogflow project connected to an already existing google project. When we try to test our skills on google by the Integrations tab, it displays an error 'Precondition check failed' without any more information, even though it still updates and uses our Dialogflow intents as it should.
The problem comes when we update anything on the actions console or try to make an alpha deploy of our skill. The moment we change anything, it comes back to the default configuration with the message 'Start building your action by defining the main invocation.' on the main invocation.
We have no clue how to handle this problem or if we have to configure something special on either of the systems to make it work. Any ideas are welcome.
If you want to integrate the Google Assistant with Dialoflow, I strongly recommend you check the new development Google Assistant's platform with a built-in conversation builder, here. Furthermore, there is a quick start guide and conversational actions guide.
As I mentioned in the first comment, you need to have appropriate permissions to create an interaction within Dialogflow, you can check the pre-defined roles here. In addition, since you are starting with Dialogflow, I would advise you to start with the available quick-starts and the setup tutorial, which explains how to begin using Dialogflow.

How to keep Google Assistant Behavior but also trigger IFTTT

I know you can make custom Google Assistant triggers that will invoke IFTTT. But I want to make a custom trigger that will do something but /also/ keep the default Google Assistant behavior. Is there a way to do this?
Description of my actual goal: I speak German as much as possible at home with my daughter. But there are times where I don't know a word, so I can say "OK Google, what is $word in German?" and it will speak it to me. This is very useful.
Then I manually add that word to my vocabulary list to study it.
I would like to write my own Python/Node microservice that will receive the word and generate flashcards (do a lookup on Linguee for sample sentences, for example) in my study program automatically.
But I would also like to keep the Google Assistant behavior that reads the translation back to me on my phone.
So is there a way to accomplish this? Basically instead of having a trigger invoke Google Assistant, I'd like it to do that and also do a second behavior (issue a POST request to a custom URL).
Thank you.

Is it possible to add a custom parameter in a Open Graph story with a common action?

We're working on a fitness application where people run and carry out a physical activity for the community as part of a workout.
For example, on Wednesday, Axel ran 5.6km and helped dig a wild flower garden.
We want to build an easy way for users to share these stories on their timelines in Facebook with a map of the course they ran and a sentance that describes the activity. We've opted to use the fitness.runs common action and can provide the course information easily enough, however it's not clear if or how we can add a custom parameter task in the sentence. Ideally the story (with accompanied map) would read:
*Axel* ran *5.6* km to *help dig a wild flower garden* with GoodGym.
Any advice on how to get that working would be greatly appreciated.
I do not think this is possible. Looking at both the run action and the course object you cannot add custom properties. For example, when you go to configure the run action you see the following message at the top "Common Action Type: Run You are viewing the configuration options for the common Action Type: Run. These are read only and are displayed for informational purposes only."
However you might want to consider using User Messages which "allow users to write a personalized message attached to this action." Then you could encourage users to write something about what they helped to do.

Joomla! system plugin to add extra params to all modules

I need to create a system plugin with one goal - add extra group fields of parameters to all module available.
There's one solution that I know of - into every XML manifest of every module add extra parameters, but this is bad solution for two reason:
1) It make impossible to update the modules without loosing these
changes
2) Its is lot of work
3) It makes extending of these
parameters almost impossible
What I want to do:
I want to make a systems plugin, that adds to every installed module a group of parameters.
What I am asking for:
I looked through the internet for a solution. I found out that I don't need to create new type of parameter. I want to use built-in type - text or list.
There is some tutorials, which have info about adding parameters to a single module and retrieving them for this single module helper.php. Yes, that's the thing I don't want too.
I asking for a link to bunch of tutorials or advice how to proceed further without tutorials.
this module is using what you are searching for. If you have time you may analise it and maybe you'll find answer.
