Google Actions Console Setup

1. Open the Actions Console
2. Select an existing project or create a new project. Follow the prompts
   when creating a new project.
3. Get your project ID:

• Click on the overflow menu on the top right of the project page. It's
  just to the left of your profile picture.
• Click on Project settings
• Note your Project ID

4. Enable Actions CLI API for your Actions project.

• Go to the Actions API
  settings page on Google APIs.
• Make sure your project is selected in the project selector on the top
  left of the Actions API page.
• Click ENABLE.
• This will allow you to use the gactions CLI tool to create and manage
  you actions and webhooks.

Actions & Webhook Setup

Download gactions v2.2.4 CLI Tool

For Linux:

curl -o gactions https://dl.google.com/gactions/updates/bin/linux/amd64/gactions/gactions
chmod a+x gactions
sudo install gactions /usr/local/bin

For Mac:

curl -o gactions https://dl.google.com/gactions/updates/bin/darwin/amd64/gactions/gactions
chmod a+x gactions
sudo install gactions /usr/local/bin

Important: Do not download the latest v3+ version of gactions from the
website.

Run gactions and upgrade if necessary:

gactions

Check the correct version is installed, you should see Version = 2.2.4 (or higher):

gactions --version

Webhook Setup

1. Add the Google Actions Integration

The first thing you need to do is add the Google Actions integration to
your app, you do this by creating a YAML file in your app that
specifies the Google Actions integration element.

Here is an example: save the following YAML to a file called
google_actions.yaml in your app's integration/ directory:

id: google-actions
type: meya.google.actions.integration
sandbox: true

Properties:

• id: this is optional, if you do not provide this then the id of the
  integration will be the dot path of the YAML file e.g.
  integration.google_actions.
• type: the dot path of the integration element in the SDK.
• sandbox: This specifies whether this integration is "sandbox" mode.
  Set this to true when developing and false when in production.

2. Get Your Webhook URL

Next you need to run meya webhooks to get a list of webhooks for all the
integrations you've added to your app. Search for Google Actions webhook
and copy the webhook URL. You'll need to paste this URL in your Actions
Package file in the next step.

3. Create an Actions Package File

You will need to create an Actions Package JSON file that defines how
the Google Assistant will trigger your actions and ultimately send a
webhook.

Find more info about the Actions Package format here

Here's and example Actions Package JSON file: save this following JSON
to a file called actions.json:

{
    "actions": [
        {
            "description": "Start Intent",
            "name": "START",
            "fulfillment": {
                "conversationName": "meya"
            },
            "intent": {
                "name": "actions.intent.MAIN"
            }
        },
        {
            "description": "Say-to Intent",
            "name": "SAY_TO",
            "fulfillment": {
                "conversationName": "meya"
            },
            "intent": {
                "name": "meya.intent.TEXT",
                "parameters": [
                    {
                        "name": "text",
                        "type": "SchemaOrg_Text"
                    }
                ],
                "trigger": {
                    "queryPatterns": [
                        "$SchemaOrg_Text:text"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "conversations": {
        "meya": {
            "name": "meya",
            "url": "YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL",
            "fulfillmentApiVersion": 2,
            "inDialogIntents": [
                {
                    "name": "actions.intent.CANCEL"
                },
                {
                    "name": "actions.intent.NO_INPUT"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Using the webhook URL you copied in the previous step, paste it into
your the actions.json file where it says YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL.

4. Upload the Actions Package

Next you need to update your Actions project. Run the fullowing command
replacing ACTIONS_FILE.json with the path to the Action Package you
created in the previous step and replacing PROJECT_ID with the project id
you got from the Actions Console on setup.

gactions update --action_package ACTIONS_FILE.json --project PROJECT_ID

2. Click on the Develop tab.
