Alexa skill having trouble avoiding the FallbackIntent

I'm having trouble avoiding the FallbackIntent. I'm writing a skill that labels different days Red Days or Blue Days. Using the dev console Utterance Profile I keep getting the fallback intent when I ask "is today a red day". I have a specific sample of that question in my interaction model so I don't understand why my intent is not getting identified. Does anyone have a suggestion?

specyfying the skill name does not help

Solution

  • Saving is not enough, you missed the "build model" button so the utterance profiler will be able to evaluate your utterances.

    After building, you can see it work properly. enter image description here

    Also, I recommend you to keep AMAZON.FallbackIntent in case your user is saying something not defined in your Interaction model. You might want to catch that.
