Send the first voice command to your skill

🕒 ~ 15 minutes

You're almost ready to make the first voice command. At this stage you're acting as any end user that is installing the skill. You'll be going through the same experience.

Decide how you want to interact with Alexa

There are several ways to interact with Alexa:

  1. Using the Browser
  • Using the Test tab on the page you set up the Amazon Alexa Skill.
  • Or via https://echosim.io/ (requires a microphone)
  1. Using a Mobile app

    Once you open the mobile app use the access credentials provided during the lab to login.

  2. Using an Amazon Alexa device

    This is out of scope for this lab.

Enable the skill

Open the browser to: https://alexa.amazon.com .

Use the same credentials used to setup the Amazon Alexa skill.

On the left side menu click on Skills, then click Your skills link on top of the page. You should see a list with your skills. Click on Adobe Analytics skill to open it.

Link Amazon Alexa with Adobe

The first thing end users should see after installing this skill is a screen telling them that Account Linking is required.

Click on Enable button and login using an Adobe ID.The browser should redirect you now to Adobe's login page.

You should use the Adobe ID provided during the lab.

Once login is successful with Adobe, Alexa should confirm it with a message similar to the one in the screenshot below.

To complete this section move on to Exercise 1.

Exercise 1

In this exercise we will configure Alexa to Respond back with "Hello" followed by your name after the skill is launched.

Step 1

Using the browser open exercises/exercise-1/alexa-skill.js file in your github fork and click the pencil icon to edit it. If you are using the CLI open this file in a text editor.

Step 2

Add code to handle new sessions requests. A LaunchRequest is an object that represents that a user made a request to an Alexa skill, but did not provide a specific intent.

// Create default handlers
var newSessionHandlers = {
    'LaunchRequest': function () {
        //Skill was launched

        //Say Hello!
        this.emit(':tell', "Hello NAME");
    }
};

Step 3

In the main function register the newSessionHandlers with the Alexa SDK

alexaSDK.registerHandlers(newSessionHandlers);

Step 4

Commit changes back to github, either using the browser or the git CLI.

Step 5

Make sure the manifest.yaml file has the location field set to:

location: exercises/exercise-1/alexa-skill.js

Step 6

Invoke your skill.

  • You: "Alexa, ask Adobe Analytics"

  • Alexa: "Welcome to Adobe Analytics.. Which report suite would you like to use? Summit Demo 2017, Template Report Suite"
