API.AI "Invalid Argument" error when trying to update integration with Actions on Google

2 days ago the integration between Google home and API.AI agent worked perfectly. Since yesterday, when the API.AI was updated to include Google Assistant integration instead of Google Home, i had to do some extra steps on Action on Google console to make that integration work again.

But when i click on "Fulfillment" on API.AI menu, then "Google Assistant", i get the following screen: enter image description here

But when i click on "update" or "test" i get the following error message: "Request contains and invalid argument".

How can i solve this?

You said that you had to do "some extra steps". Can you elaborate? - Prisoner
Well on Tuesday before Google I/O the integration of the API.AI agent was with Google Home, not Google Assistant, and the integration consisted in giving basic Google Authorization with a prompt. Now the integration with Google Assistant first asked me to create a project on the Actions On Google console with some basic informations about the agent and its invocation name. - Henri Bugnet
I solved it by creating/replicating the API.AI agent from scratch. Cheers - Henri Bugnet

Unfortunately, I too had to recreate with a brand new agent. Here's the steps I took that may help others who venture down this path...

  1. Create a new Actions on Google project from the console: Actions on Google console
  2. Create a zip file of just your intents and entities folders. They need to be in the top level of the zip file. (agent.json seems to be the one file that kept blowing up my agent after Google updated everything)
  3. Create a new Agent in API.ai as you normally would
  4. Save and finish up the "Actions on Google" console setup for the new project
  5. Go back to API.ai and click on "Integrations" and "Actions on Google". This will allow you to click on "Update" and hopefully test the generic beginning of the agent successfully.
  6. Finally, once you have tested the generic agent, import the zip file you created earlier and all "should" work fine. You'll have to update your fulfillment server if using one, etc.

The above works as of the morning of May 23, 2017. Good luck!
