Can't find the function url for Firebase webhook in Google Assistant tutorial

firebase google-cloud-functions dialogflow-es actions-on-google

I've been doing the Codelabs tutorial on "Facts about You: Build a conversational app for the Google Assistant" but have run into a problem.

Page 4 of the tutorial is devoted to using Cloud Functions for Firebase for setting up a webhook to provide custom responses. Step 7 on that page says "Once the Cloud Functions is deployed, the Function URL will be printed in the Firebase CLI logs. This URL is separate from the Project Console URL.”

My problem is that I only see the Console URL. I don’t see a Function URL anywhere.

Can anyone please clarify where I should find the Function URL? My app won’t run properly without knowing the endpoint URL for the webhoook.

Thanks!

I noticed you included the tag #actions-on-google in your question. I think perhaps Firebase does not print the URL for dialogflowFirebaseFulfillment actions. But, you can also view your functions' URLs inside the Firebase console.

If you don't know it already, you can get the console's URL from deploying. After deploying the console URL will be printed in the output as shown below. Note console URL does not change from deploy to deploy, so you can bookmark it as well.

Project Console: https://console.firebase.google.com/project/goodmorningroutine-ac4b1/overview

Inside the Firebase console go to Functions on the left. That page will show a list of functions each with its request URL as shown below.
