I try to connect a custom intent called "PageviewsIntent" with my lambda function. Sadly this does not work?
My idea was to connect first like this
return request.type === 'IntentRequest'
&& request.intent.name === 'PageviewsIntent';
and to add it to the Request Handlers
.addRequestHandlers(
PageviewsHandler,
StartHandler,
But its not working. The invocation works fine. The getGA() function works to if I call it to the StartHandler.
const Alexa = require('ask-sdk');
const { google } = require('googleapis')
const jwt = new google.auth.JWT(
XXXXX,
null,
XXXXX,
scopes
)
const gaQuery = {
auth: jwt,
ids: 'ga:' + view_id,
'start-date': '1daysAgo',
'end-date': '1daysAgo',
metrics: 'ga:pageviews'
}
const getGA = async () => {
try {
jwt.authorize()
const result = await google.analytics('v3').data.ga.get(gaQuery)
return result.data.totalsForAllResults['ga:pageviews'];
} catch (error) {
throw error
}
}
const PageviewsHandler = {
canHandle(handlerInput) {
const request = handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request;
return request.type === 'IntentRequest'
&& request.intent.name === 'Pageviews';
},
async handle(handlerInput) {
try {
const gadata = await getGA()
const speechOutput = GET_FACT_MESSAGE + " Bla " + gadata;
return handlerInput.responseBuilder
.speak(speechOutput)
.withSimpleCard(SKILL_NAME, speechOutput)
.getResponse();
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
},
};
const StartHandler = {
canHandle(handlerInput) {
const request = handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request;
return request.type === 'LaunchRequest';
},
handle(handlerInput) {
try {
const speechOutput = GET_FACT_MESSAGE;
return handlerInput.responseBuilder
.speak(speechOutput)
.withSimpleCard(SKILL_NAME, speechOutput)
.getResponse();
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
},
};
const HelpHandler = {
canHandle(handlerInput) {
const request = handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request;
return request.type === 'IntentRequest'
&& request.intent.name === 'AMAZON.HelpIntent';
},
handle(handlerInput) {
return handlerInput.responseBuilder
.speak(HELP_MESSAGE)
.reprompt(HELP_REPROMPT)
.getResponse();
},
};
const ExitHandler = {
canHandle(handlerInput) {
const request = handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request;
return request.type === 'IntentRequest'
&& (request.intent.name === 'AMAZON.CancelIntent'
|| request.intent.name === 'AMAZON.StopIntent');
},
handle(handlerInput) {
return handlerInput.responseBuilder
.speak(STOP_MESSAGE)
.getResponse();
},
};
const SessionEndedRequestHandler = {
canHandle(handlerInput) {
const request = handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request;
return request.type === 'SessionEndedRequest';
},
handle(handlerInput) {
console.log(`Session ended with reason: ${handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.reason}`);
return handlerInput.responseBuilder.getResponse();
},
};
const ErrorHandler = {
canHandle() {
return true;
},
handle(handlerInput, error) {
console.log(`Error handled: ${error.message}`);
return handlerInput.responseBuilder
.speak('Sorry, an error occurred.')
.reprompt('Sorry, an error occurred.')
.getResponse();
},
};
const SKILL_NAME = 'Blick Google Analytics';
const GET_FACT_MESSAGE = 'Hallo zu Blick Google Analytics';
const HELP_MESSAGE = 'Bla Bla Hilfe';
const HELP_REPROMPT = 'Bla Bla Hilfe';
const STOP_MESSAGE = 'Ade!';
const skillBuilder = Alexa.SkillBuilders.standard();
exports.handler = skillBuilder
.addRequestHandlers(
PageviewsHandler,
StartHandler,
HelpHandler,
ExitHandler,
SessionEndedRequestHandler
)
.addErrorHandlers(ErrorHandler)
.lambda();
I still don't made it to solve the problem but I tested now the lambda. there seems to be no problem. If I test like this
I get a correct result
"outputSpeech": {
"type": "SSML",
"ssml": "<speak>Bla 5207767</speak>"
In https://developer.amazon.com/alexa/console/ask/build i configured it like this
Is it possible that the testing tool is not working?
Test interface looks like this:
Your problem is caused by incorrect session handling in StartHandler
. By default, it is closed when there is only a speak()
method used in the response builder. You should keep session open, by adding .reprompt()
to your welcome message:
return handlerInput.responseBuilder
.speak(speechOutput)
.reprompt(speechOutput)
.withSimpleCard(SKILL_NAME, speechOutput)
.getResponse();
or by explicit adding .withShouldEndSession(false)
return handlerInput.responseBuilder
.speak(speechOutput)
.withSimpleCard(SKILL_NAME, speechOutput)
.withShouldEndSession(false)
.getResponse();
to your response builder. You can find more about request handling on Alexa Developer Blog
