You don't get to know. That is a limitation of the Alexa Skills Kit. You only get to know which intent was triggered.

:-( Thank you for your answer. Maybe I can just save to the whole variable and then access as req.slot ?? how would you handle this if I have the following utterance?

"utterances":["{Can you |}{get a taxi|get taxi|get a cab|order taxi}"]

so it can support nested utterances? or alexa utterance don't allow to have nested vars?

Looks like it's not possible. Ok, I can access speeachOutput how about access which intent was triggers in postRequest function?
