AnswerRecord

Answer records are records to manage answer history and feedbacks for Dialogflow.

Currently, answer record includes:

  • human agent assistant article suggestion
  • human agent assistant faq article

It doesn't include:

  • DetectIntent intent matching
  • DetectIntent knowledge

Answer records are not related to the conversation history in the Dialogflow Console. A Record is generated even when the end-user disables conversation history in the console. Records are created when there's a human agent assistant suggestion generated.

A typical workflow for customers provide feedback to an answer is:

  1. For human agent assistant, customers get suggestion via suggestions.list API. Together with the answers, AnswerRecord.name are returned to the customers.
  2. The customer uses the AnswerRecord.name to call the [UpdateAnswerRecord][] method to send feedback about a specific answer that they believe is wrong.
