How to read the response from Actions set in the Intents in LUIS

Question

I'm doing POC to understand LUIS for my project work.

I created an application in LUIS portal and added Intents and Entities. Also, set up some utterances for the intents. And for one of my Intent "Service", I configured Action "Utility- Write line".

When I use query which suits for the Intent "Service", it is returning json where "Service" was a topscoringintent and also action along with parameter associated with this intent.

But how can I read the response of the action "Utility- Write line" associated with the intent "Service". I don't see any response data related to this action. Similarly, I could see other actions like GetWeather. Can you please explain, how can I get the responses of these actions?

I'm using C#

Thank you.

Answer 1

First of all, make sure you are using the latest BotBuilder NuGet package. Current version is v3.5.

To check for the action, you need to navigate through the actual intent. The IntentRecommendation has an Actions collection property.

The image below shows the full tree, including Action Parameters.

I don't think you will be able to get the Action response; though you might know if it was triggered or not.

Answer 2

You will need to bind the action to either Microsoft Bot Framework or Slack bot.

Then the action would get triggered.

So, check if the action is bound or not to the bot framework.

You could also republish and check.

Please check this video which shows a demo for LUIS.
