Dialogflow - Google Assistant: Show suggestions with icon + text












1















I'm showing a list of suggestions in my Google Assistant agent. I'm using WebhookClient object (agent), to handle the responses. My code looks like:



function showSuggestions(){
agent.add(new Suggestion(`Suggestion 1`));
agent.add(new Suggestion(`Suggestion 2`));
agent.add(new Suggestion(`Suggestion 3`));
}


I'm wishing to add a small icon in the left of the text in the suggestions buttons. I'm expecting kind of:



function showSuggestions(){
agent.add(new Suggestion(<icon1> + `Suggestion 1`));
agent.add(new Suggestion(<icon2> + `Suggestion 2`));
agent.add(new Suggestion(<icon3> + `Suggestion 3`));
}


Is that possible?

          For now it is not possible to attach an icon to your text in a suggestion. The Suggestion object only accepts string as a parameter (reference).
          Nonetheless, you can use emojis without a problem, like



          agent.add(new Suggestion('🤧 Suggestion 1'));


          There are also some nodejs packages for emojis that might be useful to you:



          https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-emoji



          https://www.npmjs.com/package/emoji-regex

          • The suggestion text needs to be the same as the user input expected. So with emoji's you might have intent matching issues.
