Custom entities in actionssdk

Working with google actionsSDK and trying to figure out how can I include custom entities in the action package. I found here manual: https://developers.google.com/assistant/conversational/action-package/reference/QueryPatterns but this manual is short and they do not provide the way where should be custom types included.

Does any of you have experience with it?

Solution

Well yea, google documentation for actions SDK, no comment. Based on the example you provided these custom types belongs to the main structure in actions.json like:

"actions":[..],
"locale": "de",
"customTypes": [
    {
      "name": "$MorningOptions",
      "items": [
        {
          "key": "6am",
          "synonyms": [
            "6 am",
            "6 o clock",
            "oh six hundred",
            "6 in the morning"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]

If this is not working, you can try using types:

"actions":[..],
"locale": "de",
"types":
  [
    {
      "name": "$MorningOptions",
      "entities":
      [
        { "key": "6am", "synonyms": ["6 am","6 o clock","oh six hundred","6 in the morning"] }
      ]
    }
  ]

Those are also in the main structure. But officially are deprecated: https://developers.google.com/assistant/conversational/action-package/reference/rest/Shared.Types/ActionPackage#Type
