            "languageCode": "en"
        }
    }
}

    "queryResult": {
        "queryText": "start",
        "parameters": {},
        "allRequiredParamsPresent": true
}

Make sure that the intent has an event attached to it so you can detect intents based on events.

Intent configuration:

Request body:

{
  "queryInput": {
    "event": {
      "name": "test",
      "languageCode": "en"
    }
  }
}

Response when used detectIntent endpoint:

  "responseId": "7330fd68-82d1-4fa5-b5a1-555a9d4f649b-32d6a6f2",

          ]
        }
      }
    ],
    "outputContexts": [
