Answer 1

You have to create an object of your SessionsClient. Here I will provide some steps, so you can run your code like a charm.

1. You have to go into your Dialogflow dashboard.
2. Click on setting ( Left navbar top-right gear icon)
3. in the General tab click Service Account link ( it will redirect you to another screen)
4. If you have a service account then ignore step 5
5. Create a service account ( Top-center +icon button)
   • Now you have a service account on a list click on
6. From the action, field presses the 3 vertical dots and create a key.
7. Download the JSON file on your local computer.
8. Assign object to your sessionClient.

const sessionClient = new dialogflow.SessionsClient({
 keyFilename: "/var/www/html/moqatrips/dialog-flow.json"
});
