Dialogflow LinkOutSuggestion Chips are not rendering in simulator

Question

I have an intent which doesnt need any webhhok call to respond so I added LinkoutSuggestion in intent UI response. When I am triggering this intent it is showing the chip on web console under google assisant but It is not showing it when I am testing it on simulator. Please see the attachments

WEB

But on google assistant simulator it is showing only the simple response text, not the linkoutsuggestion chips. The link in suggestionchip is successfully verified

Answer 1

it might be late for the answer but can be helpful for others. So I went into the same problem where I was not getting the linkOutSuggestion chip but the problem is sligtly different In my case it was working everywhere while development, in every device I was testing on. But the linkoutsuggestion chip stopped working when I released/deployed on alpha for testing with limited users.

I got to know by my findings that it is a part of Brand Verfication. The Website needs to be verified than only it will allow your action to show the linkoutSuggestion to your users device.

You can refer this here : https://developers.google.com/assistant/console/brand-verification

Hope this is helpful Thanks! :)

By default you simulator is set to Smart Displays as a platform. Smart Displays do not have access to a browser at the moment so any element that requires a browser isn't shown on these devices.

If you switch the platform to phone, the link out suggestion will show up. Also remember to click on the display tab in the simulator, most visual elements are only shown here.

For Actions, don't use the Dialogflow simulator; it doesn't support all the Actions rich responses. Use the Actions simulator in the Actions Console: https://console.actions.google.com/
