Adding session attributes in Python for Alexa skills

Question

I have 3 slots (account, dollar_value, recipient_first) within my intent schema for an Alexa skill and I want to save whatever slots a

Answer 1

Take a look at the below:

account = intent['slots']['account']['value'] 
dollar_value = intent['slots']['dollar_value']['value'] 
recipient_first = intent['slots']['recipient_first']['value']  

# put your data in a dictionary
attributes = { 
    'account':account, 
    'dollar_value':dollar_value, 
    'recipient_first':recipient_first
}

Put the attributes dictionary in 'sessionAttributes' in your response. You should get it back in 'sessionAttributes' once Alexa replies to you.

Hope this helps.
