Dialogflow-fulfillment-nodejs: How to send custom Payload from Dialogflow fulfilment

[Shajeel-Afzal]

I am trying to send custom payload from the webhook (Firebase Cloud Function) but I am not able to achieve what I am trying. In response I wanna get something like:

"fulfillmentMessages": [
    {
      "text": {
        "text": [
          "First question."
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "text": {
        "text": [
          "What is your name?"
        ]
      }
    },
    "payload": {
      "deplay": "13 seconds"
    }
  ]

But right now I don't know how to add Payload in the fulfillmentMessages Array. My current code is:

let response = ['First question.', 'What is your name?'];
agent.add(response);

I have tried this

agent.add(new Payload('PLATFORM_UNSPECIFIED', JSON.stringify(json)));

But then it does not send fulfillmentMessages array. Any solution?

+1, I'm having the same problem.

But as I'm analyzing, my payload is being nested inside fullfilment.webhookPayload instead of fulfillment.fulfillmentMessages, even using the payload flags sendAsMessage or rawPayload

Check which version of dialogflow-fulfillment you are using. The inline editor for firebase use version 5.0.0 by default and I noticed a similar behaviour to what is described above with that version, so try changing the version of dialogflow-fulfillment:

In package.json:
"dialogflow-fulfillment": "^0.5.0" ---> "dialogflow-fulfillment": "^0.6.1"

In package.json:
"dialogflow-fulfillment": "^0.5.0" ---> "dialogflow-fulfillment": "^0.6.1"

Thanks @HSpens works as expected after update. Just for others who Google the same thing, the code to send custom payload is:

// const { Payload } = require("dialogflow-fulfillment");

const payload = {
  key: 'value',
  key2: 2
};

agent.add(
  new Payload(agent.UNSPECIFIED, payload, {rawPayload: true, sendAsMessage: true})
);

@s22su, does voice also work in case of Custom payload?

@s22su, does voice also work in case of Custom payload?

I don't have an answer to that as I haven't built any bot who answer using voice.

God, man I was trying so hard to find a solution and this code resolved my issue. Thanks.

Hi, sorry to mention this post as a long time has passed, but I am desperate. I have copied your code, I have upgraded versions and it is still not working, though there is no error message in logs, nothing is showing .......please help me... the JSON that I get as a response is the following:

{
"responseId": "56a0a335-5814-402e-8076-464b37ae6038-266f04e0",
"queryResult": {
"queryText": "list",
"parameters": {},
"allRequiredParamsPresent": true,
"fulfillmentMessages": [
{
"payload": {
"key": "value",
"key2": 2
},
"platform": "TELEGRAM"
}
],
"intent": {
"name": "projects/my-best-self-hywkfp/agent/intents/f8edc35d-02b9-41ce-b6a5-166d2655fd89",

);

What exactly goes in payload? Like the original question I'm trying to send something like this:

"fulfillmentMessages": [
    {
      "text": {
        "text": [
          "First question."
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "text": {
        "text": [
          "What is your name?"
        ]
      }
    },
    "payload": {
      "deplay": "13 seconds"
    }
  ]

But I can't seem to get it into that format in a way that works!

try send like this (set rawPayload to false):
agent.add( new Payload(agent.TELEGRAM, payload, {rawPayload: false, sendAsMessage: true}) );
