使用 Dialogflow 在 Google Home 上超时

Question

I'm developing my own bot and in one instance I prompt the user to take a measurement, and then wait for their reply. Currently, my bot times out before the user even has time to take the measurement. Suggestions on how to extend the timeout period?

Answer 1

You cannot extend the timeout period, and you cannot extend how many "no-input" events occur before the Action closes.

There are a couple of possible approaches to a solution:

• You can end the conversation and instruct the user to re-start the conversation with the measurement by providing you the information as part of a deep link. (Or just prompt them when they return to the conversation.)

• You can play some "hold music" by using a Media response. When the media ends, you will get a notice, so you can play more music until the user gives you a response.

Answer 2

You can use <break time="5" /> in SSML.

conv.ask(`<speak><break time="5" /></speak>`);
