I'm newbie to Alexa custom skill and if my users trigger an intent which requires authentication, i want them to link their accounts to continue using my skill. Of course my skill needs to return an instructions for them to know how to link their account.
I found in the Officical docs but unfortunately there is no example code for python.
After hours researching on internet, i found LinkAccountClass on ask_sdk_model.ui. So i started to add this class to my code like that:
from ask_sdk_model.ui import LinkAccountCard
if not handler_input.request_envelope.context.system.user.access_token:
speech = "You must open alexa app on your phone and link you account to continue"
handler_input.response_builder.speak(speech).set_card(LinkAccountCard(speech))
return handler_input.response_builder.set_should_end_session(False).response
But Alexa keeps saying to me that "Sorry, i can't help you with this". If i use .set_card(SimpleCard(speech)) instead of .set_card(LinkAccountCard(speech)), Alexa display the message "You must open alexa app on your phone and link you account to continue" without any error.
So how can i return the linkAccountCard to user to help them go to the linking accout in setting?
Thank a lot!
LinkAccountCard doesn't accept any parameters; change it to .set_card(LinkAccountCard()) and you should be good. Alexa provides the copy for that card.
Alternatively, you could use…
from ask_sdk_model.ui import Card
…
handler_input.response_builder.set_card(Card('LinkAccount'))
