Handle intent parameters as URL parameters

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- This is a sample actions.xml -->
<actions>
  <action intentName="actions.intent.CREATE_TRADE_ORDER">
    <fulfillment urlTemplate="myapp://custom-deeplink{?typeOfOrder,typeOfTrade,value,exchangeCode,tickerSymbol,name}">
      <!-- Eg. typeOfOrder = "http://schema.googleapis.com/FinancialOrderTypeLimit" -->
      <!-- (Optional) Require a field eg.typeOfOrder for fulfillment with required="true" -->
      <parameter-mapping urlParameter="typeOfOrder" intentParameter="tradeOrder.typeOfOrder" required="true" />

Use inline inventory to guide query matching

tradeOrder.assetOrdered.exchangeCode is a field that supports inline inventory. By defining an <entity-set> for tradeOrder.assetOrdered.exchangeCode, you can uniquely identify entities that are of interest to your app or restrict fulfillment to the set of supported entities.

In the following example, when the user query matches the exchangeCode_one entity, Assistant provides the associated identifier, ID_ONE, as the URL parameter exchangeCode to fulfillment.

If there is no inventory match, the text value received in the query for tradeOrder.assetOrdered.exchangeCode is passed as-is.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- This is a sample actions.xml -->
<actions>
  <action intentName="actions.intent.CREATE_TRADE_ORDER">
    <fulfillment urlTemplate="myapp://deeplink{?exchangeCode}" >
      <!-- exchangeCode = "ID_ONE" or "ID_TWO"  -->
      <!-- If no inventory match, exchangeCode is a text value, such as "NASDAQ" -->
      <!-- (Optional) Use entityMatchRequired="true" to require inventory match for fulfillment -->
      <parameter-mapping urlParameter="exchangeCode" intentParameter="tradeOrder.assetOrdered.exchangeCode" />
    </fulfillment>

    <!-- Define parameters with inventories here -->
    <parameter name="tradeOrder.assetOrdered.exchangeCode">
      <entity-set-reference entitySetId="exchangeCodeEntitySet"/>
    </parameter>
  </action>

  <entity-set entitySetId="exchangeCodeEntitySet">
    <!-- Provide an identifier per entity -->
    <entity identifier="ID_ONE" name="exchangeCode_one" alternateName="@array/exchangeCode_one_synonyms"/>
    <entity identifier="ID_TWO" name="exchangeCode_two" alternateName="@array/exchangeCode_two_synonyms"/>
  </entity-set>
</actions>

Derive fulfillment URL using inline inventory

The url attribute associated with the entity can be used to determine the fulfillment URL if there is an inventory match. In the following example, when the user query matches the exchangeCode_one entity, Assistant provides myapp://deeplink/one as the fulfillment URL.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <!-- This is a sample actions.xml -->
  <actions>
    <action intentName="actions.intent.CREATE_TRADE_ORDER">
      <!-- Use url from inventory match for deep link fulfillment -->
      <fulfillment urlTemplate="{@url}" />

      <!-- Provide a fallback fulfillment with no required parameters. For example, to your app search or router deeplink -->
      <fulfillment urlTemplate="myapp://deeplink" />

      <!-- Define parameters with inventories here -->
      <parameter name="tradeOrder.assetOrdered.exchangeCode">
        <entity-set-reference entitySetId="exchangeCodeEntitySet"/>
      </parameter>
    </action>

    <entity-set entitySetId="exchangeCodeEntitySet">
      <!-- Provide a URL per entity -->
      <entity url="myapp://deeplink/one" name="exchangeCode_one" alternateName="@array/exchangeCode_one_synonyms"/>
      <entity url="myapp://deeplink/two" name="exchangeCode_two" alternateName="@array/exchangeCode_two_synonyms"/>
    </entity-set>
  </actions>
