Alexa - By canFulfillntentRequest, Can I launch custom intent without asking the name of skill?

By implementing the "canFulfillIntentRequest", Can I launch my custom intent without asking the name of skill while it is already playing an audio? like instead of saying:

"Alexa, ask <inovation name> to get me the latest on China"

can I say?

"Alexa, get me the latest on China"

Any help will be highly appreciable.

Solution

  • If the skill is invoked and is already playing the audio then it depends on the variable shouldEndSession. If shouldEndSession variable is set to True, while playing the audio file then NO, otherwise YES. You could ask at the end of the audio file, it the user wants to hear more or something.

    And if the skill is not invoked, then it is not possible.
