Creates a new conversation. Conversations are auto-completed after 24 hours.
Conversation Lifecycle: There are two stages during a conversation: Automated Agent Stage and Assist Stage.
For Automated Agent Stage, there will be a dialogflow agent responding to user queries.
For Assist Stage, there's no dialogflow agent responding to user queries. But we will provide suggestions which are generated from conversation.
If Conversation.conversation_profile
is configured for a dialogflow agent, conversation will start from Automated Agent Stage
, otherwise, it will start from Assist Stage
. And during Automated Agent Stage
, once an Intent
with Intent.live_agent_handoff
is triggered, conversation will transfer to Assist Stage.
