So you can build an Action. Now what?
summary
Builds Actions using Dialogflow and Node.js hosted on Cloud Functions/Firebase, shows OAuth flow to grab access and refresh tokens, and warns that about 50% of developers get stuck on asynchronous code so always return a promise. Uses templates and multivocal for internationalized replies and separation of logic from phrasing. Demonstrates a slide‑advancer app that mostly works but times out after 1 minute 40 seconds due to a bug, illustrating real integration pitfalls.
