6. A Flow studio conversation similar to the one in the below screenshot will be imported.
   Make sure you copy the FlowID.

   

   You can copy the Flow studio ID from the verticle ellipses dropdown menu too.
   

   

...

1. Go to the Experience Designer > Launch tab > Launch node > Endpoint.
   Click on the icon to copy the endpoint of the project.

   

2. This URL is used as a webhook URL for Alexa and Dialogflow.
   For Dialogflow, go to https://dialogflow.cloud.google.com/ and select fulfillment from the side menu. Enable Webhook and use this URL to link the Dialogflow agent with the Orbita project.

   

3. You have successfully connected the project with your Dialogflow agent.
