The problem it solves

Keeping track of every chatbot intent and its priority level by hand is tedious, and there is no easy backup if something changes or breaks in your bot. You end up guessing what was set up months ago.

Who it fits

Chatbot administrators managing a Dialogflow agent.

How it works

  1. You send a keyword like 'backup' to a Telegram bot
  2. The system pulls every intent from your Dialogflow agent
  3. Each intent's name and priority level are labeled clearly
  4. The list is added to a Google Sheets spreadsheet with a timestamp
  5. You get a confirmation message once the backup is complete
What you get

Chatbot intents you never lose to an outage

You can back up every Dialogflow intent and priority to a spreadsheet with a single word sent on Telegram.

What you get

An up-to-date spreadsheet listing every chatbot intent and its priority level.

What you need

A Telegram bot, a Google service account, and a Dialogflow agent.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
