According to the readme file, the Dialogflow Fulfillment library is no longer being maintained; therefore, it seems that you can't use rich response in Dialogflow messenger directly with this library.

Based on this, if you want to use rich responses with Dialogflow messenger, you can create a webhook service. To start testing this, I recommend you do the following:

1- Use Cloud Functions to create an HTTP function. This documentation mentions the process to create one from the Cloud Console. Please take in account this considerations in the second step:

• Runtime: Python 3.8
• Entry point: entry_function
• Inside the inline editor, copy and paste the following code:

from flask import jsonify
 
def entry_function(request):
 
   response_json = jsonify(
       fulfillment_text="This message is from Dialogflow's testing!",
       fulfillment_messages=[
           {
               "payload": {
                   "richContent": [[{
                       "actionLink": "https://assistant.google.com/",
                       "subtitle": "This is the body text of a card.  You can even use line\n  breaks and emoji!
