I have an intent to request a bank account info by it's number. I tried with only one slot of AMAZON.Number but if the account number is ***012345, Alexa understand this as ***012337 (last two digits are wrong). So now I use five slots for this (numberA, numberB, numberC, numberD and numberE, all those are AMAZON.Number) and concat their values (and works great).
My json model:
{
"name": "GetAccountInfo_Intent",
"slots": [
{
"name": "question",
"type": "TYPE_getRequest"
},
{
"name": "owner",
"type": "TYPE_owner"
},
{
"name": "accountByNumber",
"type": "TYPE_accountByNumber"
},
{
"name": "numberA",
"type": "AMAZON.NUMBER"
},
{
"name": "numberB",
"type": "AMAZON.NUMBER"
},
{
"name": "numberC",
"type": "AMAZON.NUMBER"
},
{
"name": "numberD",
"type": "AMAZON.NUMBER"
},
{
"name": "numberE",
"type": "AMAZON.NUMBER"
}
],
"samples": [
"{owner} {accountByNumber} {numberA} {numberB} {numberC} {numberD} {numberE}",
"{accountByNumber} {owner} {numberA} {numberB} {numberC} {numberD} {numberE}",
"{accountByNumber} {numberA} {numberB} {numberC} {numberD} {numberE}",
"{question} {accountByNumber} {numberA} {numberB} {numberC} {numberD} {numberE}",
"{question} {owner} {accountByNumber} {numberA} {numberB} {numberC} {numberD} {numberE}",
"{question} {accountByNumber} {owner} {numberA} {numberB} {numberC} {numberD} {numberE}"
]
},
I want the conversation with Alexa be something like this:
Me: Get my account with number ***012345.
Alexa: Did you request info from account number ***012345?
Me: Yes.
Alexa: Did you want all info, just IBAN or just bank name?
Me: Just bank.
Alexa: Your account with the number ***012345 belongs to bank XPTO.
Me: Can you repeat?
Alexa: Your account with the number ***012345 belongs to bank XPTO.
So I already searched a lot about dialog management (like this manual and many others links). But how can I request confirmation for multiple slots as one like my case? All must be checked to confirmation? How can I solve this? There is some good example for my case?
My lambda code:
"GetAccountInfo_Intent": function ()
{
var intent = this;
var number1Value = getSlotValue(intent.event.request.intent, "numberA");
var number2Value = getSlotValue(intent.event.request.intent, "numberB");
var number3Value = getSlotValue(intent.event.request.intent, "numberC");
var number4Value = getSlotValue(intent.event.request.intent, "numberD");
var number5Value = getSlotValue(intent.event.request.intent, "numberE");
var value = number1Value;
if(value == null)
value = number2Value;
else if(number2Value != null)
value += number2Value;
if(value == null)
value = number3Value;
else if(number3Value != null)
value += number3Value;
if(value == null)
value = number4Value;
else if(number4Value != null)
value += number4Value;
if(value == null)
value = number5Value;
else if(number5Value != null)
value += number5Value;
var updatedIntent = this.event.request.intent;
if (this.event.request.dialogState === 'STARTED')
{
this.response.speak("dialogState STARTED");
this.emit(':delegate', updatedIntent);
}
else if (this.event.request.dialogState != 'COMPLETED')
{
if(value == null)
this.emit(':elicitSlot', "numberA", "What are the account number you pretend?", "You must provide a account number. What are the account number you pretend?");
else
this.emit(':delegate', updatedIntent);
}
else
{
if(this.event.request.intent.confirmationStatus == 'CONFIRMED'){
this.response.speak("Your account number are " + value + ".");
this.emit(':responseReady');
}
else{
this.response.speak("Please repeat your account number again.");
this.emit(':responseReady');
}
}
},
I also do not understand the logic that the examples show for the lambda function (like in my code). How can I make this.emit(':elicitSlot') for all the slots as one?
Testing this on Alexa Developer Console is terrible. I can't debug on this... It is always saying "There was a problem with the requested skill's response".
