Args:
request (Union[google.cloud.dialogflowcx_v3beta1.types.CreateEntityTypeRequest, dict]):
The request object. The request message for
[EntityTypes.CreateEntityType][google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3beta1.EntityTypes.CreateEntityType].
parent (str):
Required. The agent to create a entity type for. Format:
``projects/<Project ID>/locations/<Location ID>/agents/<Agent ID>``.
This corresponds to the ``parent`` field
on the ``request`` instance; if ``request`` is provided, this
should not be set.
entity_type (google.cloud.dialogflowcx_v3beta1.types.EntityType):
Required. The entity type to create.
This corresponds to the ``entity_type`` field
on the ``request`` instance; if ``request`` is provided, this
should not be set.
retry (google.api_core.retry.Retry): Designation of what errors, if any,
should be retried.
timeout (float): The timeout for this request.
metadata (Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]): Strings which should be
sent along with the request as metadata.
Returns:
google.cloud.dialogflowcx_v3beta1.types.EntityType:
Entities are extracted from user input and represent parameters that are
meaningful to your application. For example, a date
range, a proper name such as a geographic location or
landmark, and so on. Entities represent actionable
data for your application.
When you define an entity, you can also include
synonyms that all map to that entity. For example,
"soft drink", "soda", "pop", and so on.
There are three types of entities:
- **System** - entities that are defined by the
Dialogflow API for common data types such as date,
time, currency, and so on. A system entity is
represented by the EntityType type.
- **Custom** - entities that are defined by you that
represent actionable data that is meaningful to
your application. For example, you could define a
pizza.sauce entity for red or white pizza sauce, a
pizza.cheese entity for the different types of
cheese on a pizza, a pizza.topping entity for
different toppings, and so on. A custom entity is
represented by the EntityType type.
- **User** - entities that are built for an
individual user such as favorites, preferences,
playlists, and so on. A user entity is represented
by the
[SessionEntityType][google.cloud.dialogflow.cx.v3beta1.SessionEntityType]
type.
For more information about entity types, see the
[Dialogflow
documentation](\ https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/entities-overview).
