Get Intent gets action, not Intent about actions-on-google-nodejs

[HerrPfister]

Right now I am circumnavigating this with a hack. Before I initialize ApiAiApp I do:

request.body.result.action = request.body.result.action || request.body.result.metadata.intentName

which is awful, and should be fixed, but it has been working.

I'm doing exactly the same. I fish it out from the payload.

I forget to add. It seems this is a problem only with "barge-ins".

Thanks for the feedback.

In v2 of the library, we more clearly separated the abstractions between Actions SDK and Dialogflow so naming is clearer for stuff like this. Also in v2, we use the Dialogflow intent name instead of action name to simplify the development experience. There's a thread about this in Dialogflow's GitHub for further discussions.

Let us know of any feedback so we polish it up during the alpha phase.

closing this issue now that v2 is general availability
