Error in Alexa skill events documentation

amazon-alexa
#1

The documentation for Alexa skill events at https://www.jovo.tech/docs/amazon-alexa/skill-events#skill-events uses two different expressions to get the user id:
this.getUserId() and this.$user.Id()

Both don’t work, it should be:
this.$user.getId()

#2

Ah yes, that’s correct, thank you!

Would you be up to submitting a pull request with the fix? :slight_smile: https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-framework/blob/master/docs/platforms/amazon-alexa/skillevents.md

Shame on me, but i’m really bad with GIT. I could create a patch though. Maybe this helps:

Haha, ok, thank you!! I typically just update the docs directly on GitHub and create a Pull Request from their UI.

Just wanted to make sure you get the credits :+1:
