# Dialogflow Engine

<Badge icon="arrow-left" color="gray">[Back to External NLU Integrations](/ai-for-service/integrations/overview#external-nlu)</Badge>

The Dialogflow ES adapter uses NLP and machine learning to identify user intent and extract entities. This page covers how to create and train a Dialogflow agent, enable the Dialogflow API, and generate service account credentials for use in the Kore.ai External NLU adapter settings.

Once configured, you can [test the conversation behavior](/ai-for-service/automation/testing/test-and-debug-overview) of your AI Agent using your Dialogflow ES model.

***

## Train the Dialogflow Engine

**Prerequisites:** At least one agent created on [Dialogflow Essentials](https://dialogflow.cloud.google.com/). Intent and entity names in Dialogflow must match those defined in the Platform.

To configure the Dialogflow ES adapter, you need the **Project ID** and **Private Key** from your Google Cloud service account JSON file. See [Enable the Dialogflow API](#enable-the-dialogflow-api) and [Create Service Account Credentials](#create-service-account-credentials).

### Create and Train an Agent

1. Go to [Dialogflow Essentials](https://dialogflow.cloud.google.com/) and click **Create Agent**. In this example, the agent is named `Test_Dialogflow`.

2. Click **Create Intent** and name it to match the intent in your AI Agent.

3. In this example, the intent is named `Phone Number Verification` to match the corresponding intent in the AI Agent.

4. Under **Action and Parameters**, add the action name matching the entity, then fill in **Parameter Name**, **Entity**, **Value**, and **Prompt**.

5. Under **Responses > Default**, add the **Text Response** to display to the user.

6. Click **Save**.

7. Go to **Training** in the left menu and enter the intent name under **User Says**.

   <img src="https://mintcdn.com/koreai/aWGmDC4TMVyNnT1F/ai-for-service/integrations/external-nlu/images/external-nlu-dialogflow-engine-img5.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=aWGmDC4TMVyNnT1F&q=85&s=601b059f719cefd5d27ca2c5fd89e786" alt="Go to Training and enter Intent name" width="1920" height="1080" data-path="ai-for-service/integrations/external-nlu/images/external-nlu-dialogflow-engine-img5.png" />

8. In the **Try Now** panel (top right), enter the intent name to test the configuration.

9. The configured text response appears under **Default Response**.
