403 error code with direct skill connection

Hi,

I am encountering a 403 error code when trying to request a custom task through skill connections. Below are the details of my request

My requester skill ID is "amzn1.ask.skill.8e5edb0a-48a5-4f69-b803-29956aa91b01”.

The name of the task which I am trying to request is "amzn1.ask.skill.4632a292-5dca-4596-966f-bd182ebdd456.GetDataFromAlphavantage”, and the uri which I am sending via a StartConnectionDirective is "connection://amzn1.ask.skill.4632a292-5dca-4596-966f-bd182ebdd456.GetDataFromAlphavantage/1?provider=amzn1.ask.skill.4632a292-5dca-4596-966f-bd182ebdd456”.

I have registered the skill which holds the custom task at this page as stated, and followed instructions from this page when creating my custom tasks, and this page when trying to convert my skill into a requester skill. However, my requester skill continues to face the 403 error code. Below is the screenshot of the error code in my request object from CloudWatch.

Appreciate if anyone could advise on why this is happening, as I could not seem to find any documentation on this, or any prior issues on this in the Alexa developer forums. Please do reach out if you require more information.

The form is to request access to the preview - if you have not received a reply from us that you have been accepted as part of the preview, you will not be able to use custom tasks with direct skill connections at this time.

Do you mean this form? Do you know how I can get accepted? I have filled in the form a long time ago...but as you mentioned I have not obtained any reply.

We are fine tuning our offering for Task providers and hence gating the onboarding to provide our utmost attention. Currently we don’t have any available spots and will let you know as soon as we are ready to onboard you as a Task provider. So unfortunately I don't have any more information to provide on this at this time, but keep an eye out on our developer blog for updates.
