How to enable KnowledgeBase in dialogFlow after creating it automatically

I have done below via APIs.

  1. Creating the knowledge base
  2. Adding a document to knowledge Base.

Problem I am facing is once job is done via APIs,

Problem 1: Its not enabling the knowledge base, I have to goto dialogFlow dashboard and enable it manually

enter image description here

Problem 2: Also I have to add response $knowledge.answer[1] manually too.

enter image description here

Question: Can we do this both programatically. so that there is no need to goto dialogFlow dashboard screen and do this manually. :(

What I think above APIs are useless without these both options.

Note: I can paste the code if some one needs. Thank you in Advance

Solution

    1. 'KnowledgeBases' can only be Enable/Disable through UI, it's an one time configure. If that's not applicable, you can set the knowledge bases for each requests as in 2.

    2. 'KnowledgeBases' in 'DetectIntent' requests can be set through the knowledge_base_names[] query parameter.

    Note that:

    • 'KnowledgeBases' are just repositories of documents that you can use in 'DetectIntent', agent assist, etc. They don't have enabled/disabled state.

    • What's referenced to as "Enabled/Disabled" in the UI is an agent setting that means 'DetectIntent' uses the 'KnowledgeBases' by default if no knowledge bases are set in the 'DetectIntent request'.

    Regarding your comment "What I think above APIs are useless without these both options." I think it's a valid feature request that I highly recommend for you to submit it through Issue Tracker.
