How do you implement an 'AMAZON.NextIntent' in an alexa skill. suppose I have 3 audios(a1, a2, a3) enqueued and a1 is playing. If the user sends the request using 'nextIntent', what should be the response so that alexa plays a2? Alexa SDK provides you ability to keep the state in session attributes. For Node.js it's this.attributes . You can read more about here in Skill State Management section. You can keep the current step in that attribute. Once your skill is started you can set the current step to "first" (or 1, or whatever). Once the AMAZON.NextIntent is triggered, you check the state of

I am using the ASK SDK 2.0 for Node.js. I have a skill that uses a dialog model to prompt the user for a series of inputs, all of which are required slots with the type AMAZON.NUMBER. When a user gives a numerical response, everything works fine. However, if the user gives a non-numeric response, such as "yellow", the slot value is filled in with: "value": "?" and moves on to propmpt the user for the input for the next slot. How can I get it to reprompt the user for that slot again if they provide an invalid response? I've poured over the documentation and can't find anything. Ideally I would

In one of the intent handler for my Alexa skill I have to return response once my promise is resolved. Code looks like this : var rcvPromise = receiveMsgQ(); rcvPromise.then(function(speechText) { console.log('rcv Promise resolved with ',speechText); return handlerInput.responseBuilder .speak(speechText) .withSimpleCard('skill_name', speechText) .withShouldEndSession(false) .getResponse(); }); Skill returns with ERROR message with no additional details about error. Is there any way to fix this problem? PS: I need to use promise as receiveMsgQ() is asynchronous function call. The error you're

I've written an Alexa Skill that uses a Lambda Function to play unique audio from a given URL. The Intent called "PlayAudio" is working and plays the first audio item from our JSON-formatted API. The Intent called "PlaybackNearlyFinished" does not work, aka, does not play the audio file I am feeding it. Can anybody crack exactly why this doesn't work? Here is a section from my Lambda Function, which contains the two Intents: Fact.prototype.intentHandlers = { "PlayAudio": function (event, context, response) { fetchEnseParse("/latest", function(body) { if(body == "error") { } else { var

Is it possible to use Alexa Skill Kit's ASK CLI deploy command to build, for example, a debug version of the app that deploys a development environment and a release version of the app that deploys to a test environment? My team and I are trying to deploy the same skill to two different environments, so our testing team can do their thing in the test environments and development can do their thing in the development environment. This will be a private skill so using http://developer.amazon.com separation of test and "prod" via publishing the application is not an option. There are probably a
