I found this on the GUI Alexa Developer Console where I could add Slot Validation. This exactly what I am looking for. So I have it on me model correctly. How do I access the validation from the index.js? So if it doesn't pass validation it sends out the correct response from the model.
{
"type": "PlainText",
"value": "Can you repeat that?"
}
Hi Will,
I checked your "Rainbow Words" skill and found that you have not added slot validations and got confused with the Dialog Management.
"When the user fills the slot with an utterance and you delegate the dialog to Alexa, Alexa checks the provided value against your rules. If the value fails the validation, Alexa uses your prompts to ask the user for a correct value."
Check this link to learn more about how to add validation rules.
Hey Will,
If you added validations in developer portal then it will be taken care by interaction model and you don't have to add anything in backend side.
My validation isn't ever being called when a user says something besides the slot values. Nothing happens Alexa doesn't respond at all.
