A session represents an interaction with a user.

You retrieve user input and pass it to the DetectIntent method to determine user intent and respond.

Equality

Instances of this class created via copy-construction or copy-assignment always compare equal. Instances created with equal std::shared_ptr<*Connection> objects compare equal. Objects that compare equal share the same underlying resources.

Performance

Creating a new instance of this class is a relatively expensive operation, new objects establish new connections to the service. In contrast, copy-construction, move-construction, and the corresponding assignment operations are relatively efficient as the copies share all underlying resources.

Thread Safety

Concurrent access to different instances of this class, even if they compare equal, is guaranteed to work. Two or more threads operating on the same instance of this class is not guaranteed to work. Since copy-construction and move-construction is a relatively efficient operation, consider using such a copy when using this class from multiple threads.

Functions

DetectIntent(google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::DetectIntentRequest const &, Options)

Processes a natural language query and returns structured, actionable data as a result.

This method is not idempotent, because it may cause session entity types to be updated, which in turn might affect results of future queries.

Note: Always use agent versions for production traffic. See Versions and environments.

Parameters
Name	Description
request	google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::DetectIntentRequest const & Unary RPCs, such as the one wrapped by this function, receive a single request proto message which includes all the inputs for the RPC. In this case, the proto message is a google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.DetectIntentRequest. Proto messages are converted to C++ classes by Protobuf, using the Protobuf mapping rules.
opts	Options Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type	Description
StatusOr< google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::DetectIntentResponse >	the result of the RPC. The response message type (google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.DetectIntentResponse) is mapped to a C++ class using the Protobuf mapping rules. If the request fails, the StatusOr contains the error details.

ServerStreamingDetectIntent(google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::DetectIntentRequest const &, Options)

Processes a natural language query and returns structured, actionable data as a result through server-side streaming.

Server-side streaming allows Dialogflow to send partial responses earlier in a single request.

Parameters
Name	Description
request	google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::DetectIntentRequest const & Unary RPCs, such as the one wrapped by this function, receive a single request proto message which includes all the inputs for the RPC. In this case, the proto message is a google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.DetectIntentRequest. Proto messages are converted to C++ classes by Protobuf, using the Protobuf mapping rules.
opts	Options Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type	Description
StreamRange< google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::DetectIntentResponse >	the result of the RPC. The response message type (google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.DetectIntentResponse) is mapped to a C++ class using the Protobuf mapping rules. If the request fails, the StatusOr contains the error details.

AsyncStreamingDetectIntent(Options)

Processes a natural language query in audio format in a streaming fashion and returns structured, actionable data as a result.

This method is only available via the gRPC API (not REST).

Note: Always use agent versions for production traffic. See Versions and environments.

Parameter
Name	Description
opts	Options Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type	Description
std::unique_ptr<::google::cloud::AsyncStreamingReadWriteRpc< google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::StreamingDetectIntentRequest, google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::StreamingDetectIntentResponse > >	An object representing the bidirectional streaming RPC. Applications can send multiple request messages and receive multiple response messages through this API. Bidirectional streaming RPCs can impose restrictions on the sequence of request and response messages. Please consult the service documentation for details. The request message type (google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.StreamingDetectIntentRequest) and response messages (google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.StreamingDetectIntentResponse) are mapped to C++ classes using the Protobuf mapping rules.

MatchIntent(google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::MatchIntentRequest const &, Options)

Returns preliminary intent match results, doesn't change the session status.

Parameters
Name	Description
request	google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::MatchIntentRequest const & Unary RPCs, such as the one wrapped by this function, receive a single request proto message which includes all the inputs for the RPC. In this case, the proto message is a google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.MatchIntentRequest. Proto messages are converted to C++ classes by Protobuf, using the Protobuf mapping rules.
opts	Options Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type	Description
StatusOr< google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::MatchIntentResponse >	the result of the RPC. The response message type (google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.MatchIntentResponse) is mapped to a C++ class using the Protobuf mapping rules. If the request fails, the StatusOr contains the error details.

FulfillIntent(google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::FulfillIntentRequest const &, Options)

Fulfills a matched intent returned by MatchIntent.

Must be called after MatchIntent, with input from MatchIntentResponse. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters
Name	Description
request	google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::FulfillIntentRequest const & Unary RPCs, such as the one wrapped by this function, receive a single request proto message which includes all the inputs for the RPC. In this case, the proto message is a google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.FulfillIntentRequest. Proto messages are converted to C++ classes by Protobuf, using the Protobuf mapping rules.
opts	Options Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type	Description
StatusOr< google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::FulfillIntentResponse >	the result of the RPC. The response message type (google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.FulfillIntentResponse) is mapped to a C++ class using the Protobuf mapping rules. If the request fails, the StatusOr contains the error details.

SubmitAnswerFeedback(google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::SubmitAnswerFeedbackRequest const &, Options)

Updates the feedback received from the user for a single turn of the bot response.

Parameters
Name	Description
request	google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::SubmitAnswerFeedbackRequest const & Unary RPCs, such as the one wrapped by this function, receive a single request proto message which includes all the inputs for the RPC. In this case, the proto message is a google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.SubmitAnswerFeedbackRequest. Proto messages are converted to C++ classes by Protobuf, using the Protobuf mapping rules.
opts	Options Optional. Override the class-level options, such as retry and backoff policies.

Returns
Type	Description
StatusOr< google::cloud::dialogflow::cx::v3::AnswerFeedback >	the result of the RPC. The response message type (google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3.AnswerFeedback) is mapped to a C++ class using the Protobuf mapping rules. If the request fails, the StatusOr contains the error details.
