Developing an Action that uses Interactive Canvas follows the same general steps
for building a conversational Action. Once you create your Actions project,
Dialogflow agent, fulfillment, and web app, you define the communication between
your Action and Interactive Canvas.
Follow these development steps to build your Interactive Canvas Action:
Setup: Set up the various
tools and platforms for developing an Action that uses Interactive Canvas.
- Create an Actions project: Create the project that contains the metadata
required to configure, manage, and publish your Action.
- Create the Dialogflow agent: Use Dialogflow to build the
conversational interface for your Action.
Build your conversational Action: Define the
webhook logic for the intents in your Action that include an
HtmlResponse. The Interactive Canvas documentation shows you how to build
your Action with the
Node.js client library,
but you can also build with the Java client library.
Build your web app: Use existing
web technologies to create your web app and
write the client-side custom logic that utilizes the
Interactive Canvas API.
Deploy to your web server of choice.
Deploy your fulfillment: Use
the Firebase CLI to deploy your fulfillment code.
Test your Action: Learn how to use
the simulator to test your Action.
