I have built an Alexa skill with the following flow:
LAUNCH -> AccountLinkingIntent -> CampaignIntent
In AccountLinkingIntent , presently I am routing to CampaignIntent if Account is already linked.
Up to this everything is working fine. Now I have to add another Intent ActiveContactIntent so that the flow becomes:
LAUNCH -> AccountLinkingIntent -> CampaignIntent / ActiveContactIntent i.e, From AccountLinking I need to decide which Intent to route to.
The invocation goes like this (CampaignIntent):
Alexa, ask <invocation_name> to get my latest campaign result
OR (ActiveContactIntent)
Alexa, ask <invocation_name> who is my most active contact
Based on the utterance, I need to tell Alexa where to go. So far I have the following in AccountLinkingIntent
… return this.toIntent(“CampaignIntent”); …
But now I need to decide the same as this:
...
if( ... ) {
return this.toIntent("CampaignIntent");
} else {
return this.toIntent("ActiveContactIntent");
}
...
Is there any way to get the IntentName by the utterance so that I can check by the same such as:
...
if( intent_name_by_utterance === "CampaignIntent" ) {
return this.toIntent("CampaignIntent");
} else {
return this.toIntent("ActiveContactIntent");
}
...
Or probably, if it is possible to get intent_name_by_utterance I may also pass the value as the argument of toIntent method if it is allowed to pass a variable!
return this.toIntent(intent_name_by_utterance);
