Saving session params via external API using REST

[Akash Sunil Nirantar]

Hello all,
I am trying to save session parameters externally from a server where the request didnt come from dialogflow CX.
Following is what I am trying to do:-

1. There is a Log in button on chatbot (deployed on fb messenger)
2. After user clicks on it, a webview is opened with login page
3. After user provides correct details and presses login. I get all the user info on my server after this step
4. I want to save this user info instantly on the dialogflow session.

As the request came from a website and not dialogflow chatbot I am unable to send the response to dialogflow directly. I want to save the user info in the session using the session ID. I am unable to find any such REST API provided by Dialogflow CX.

Hello Shameem,
Thanks for replying, my query was actually regarding Dialogflow CX REST APIs. I want to save some data on to a dialogflow CX session using a REST API. I was able to find one API to save "Session entities" for a particular session but thats not what I want. What I want is to save some data into parameters in a dialogflow user session.
Let me know if there is any such API present. I am referring this link https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/cx/docs/reference/rest/v3-overview

thanks!

Hi,

I believe the API you are looking for is the detectIntent API. For this use case, you could trigger an event (maybe a welcome event) and pass in the data in the parameters field of QueryParams and it should be available in the session throughout the conversation.

Thank you so much
You would not believe but I figured the exact thing out as I received your message. Haha, what a timing.
