Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Dialogflow V2 Client class ConversationsClient.
Service Description: Service for managing Conversations.
This class provides the ability to make remote calls to the backing service through method calls that map to API methods. Sample code to get started:
$conversationsClient = new ConversationsClient();
try {
$formattedName = $conversationsClient->conversationName('[PROJECT]', '[CONVERSATION]');
$response = $conversationsClient->completeConversation($formattedName);
} finally {
$conversationsClient->close();
}
Many parameters require resource names to be formatted in a particular way. To assist with these names, this class includes a format method for each type of name, and additionally a parseName method to extract the individual identifiers contained within formatted names that are returned by the API.

createConversation
Creates a new conversation. Conversations are auto-completed after 24 hours.
Conversation Lifecycle: There are two stages during a conversation: Automated Agent Stage and Assist Stage.
For Automated Agent Stage, there will be a dialogflow agent responding to user queries.
For Assist Stage, there's no dialogflow agent responding to user queries. But we will provide suggestions which are generated from conversation.
If
Conversation.conversation_profile
is configured for a dialogflow agent, conversation will start from
Automated Agent Stage
, otherwise, it will start from Assist Stage
. And
during Automated Agent Stage
, once an
Intent with
Intent.live_agent_handoff
is triggered, conversation will transfer to Assist Stage.
