Actions on Google intents
Smart displays and speakers introduce two new types of intent:
- No input: when the user doesn't respond within a certain period of time.
- Cancelled input: when the user wants to end the interaction early.
Handling these intents allows you to provide a custom prompt to re-engage the user, and to gracefully end the conversation, respectively.
You can enable handling of these intents from the Actions on Google integrations settings page.

No input
When users don't respond to a prompt, the bot will receive this intent.

properties:
text: "What's your favorite color?"
pattern: "^(?!actions.intent.NO_INPUT).*$"
output: color

error_message: "Sorry, I couldn't hear you. Try again."
# alternatively, you can set require_match: false
# and handle no_match for more advanced use-cases
require_match: true
no_input_2:
component: meya.text
properties:
text: "{{user.color}} is a nice color."
actions.intent.CANCEL
When users say a global cancel command such as quit
, the bot will receive this intent, so you can respond with a final message.
