There is a list of Built-in Intents available that can be used in App Actions on the Google Developers website, is there any way we can create our custom Built-in Intents?

No, it's not currently possible to create custom built-in intents for App Actions. As per the App Actions docs:

If these built-in intents do not support your use case, please file a feature request on the public issues tracker

As a side note, while not custom, there is a more generic "open app feature" (actions.intent.OPEN_APP_FEATURE) built-in intent that might work for some use-cases.

  • Hey, thanks for reply. I want to use actions.intent.OPEN_APP_FEATURE to open a specific activity of my app, here i couldn't understand how i can specify this in the fields for this intent. In documents, it is written that it supports "feature" as field. How can we pass our deeplink in this feature? – Ashish Rana Jun 14 '19 at 09:38
  • The activity (target) that you want to open is specified as a deep link in the `urlTemplate` field. To set it up, see the docs (step1/2): https://developers.google.com/actions/appactions/quickstart#deeplink The "feature" is some name of the screen/feature the user gives in when they ask for your app. The value will be passed through to your app. – AdamK Jun 14 '19 at 18:55
  • @AdamK did you manage with OPEN_APP_FEATURE? It works for me in App Actions Test Tools but not from phone. There is even a Google issue about this: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/135714718 – rosu alin Aug 30 '19 at 15:09
  • @rosualin I haven't tested myself. I will ask for someone to check on status and update the issue. – AdamK Aug 30 '19 at 22:46
