CreateConversation(CreateConversationRequest, CallOptions)

public virtual Conversation CreateConversation(CreateConversationRequest request, CallOptions options)

Creates a new conversation. Conversations are auto-completed after 24 hours.

Conversation Lifecycle: There are two stages during a conversation: Automated Agent Stage and Assist Stage.

For Automated Agent Stage, there will be a dialogflow agent responding to user queries.

For Assist Stage, there's no dialogflow agent responding to user queries. But we will provide suggestions which are generated from conversation.

If [Conversation.conversation_profile][google.cloud.dialogflow.v2.Conversation.conversation_profile] is configured for a dialogflow agent, conversation will start from Automated Agent Stage, otherwise, it will start from Assist Stage. And during Automated Agent Stage, once an [Intent][google.cloud.dialogflow.v2.Intent] with [Intent.live_agent_handoff][google.cloud.dialogflow.v2.Intent.live_agent_handoff] is triggered, conversation will transfer to Assist Stage.

Parameters
