Create a Dialogflow Agent

There are two agent types available in Dialogflow:

CX Agent

This is an advanced agent type that is suitable for large or very complex agents. Flows and pages are the building blocks of conversation design, and state handlers are used to control conversation paths. The CX agent type is summarized in Dialogflow CX basics.

Currently, as a Beta version in the Orbita platform the Dialogflow CX agent will support only the DTMF feature from platform version v4.0.98. Chatbot is not supported yet.
