parameters in command

[NovaGL]

How do I send a parameter for example I want to look up a TV show.

I would say alexa ask tv show "suits". how do I pass the word suits to then get the custom response

Hi, if the tv show is declared as a slot, you can surround it to specify it. You can check that in more detail here:

http://docs.bespoken.tools/en/latest/commands/speak/#working-with-slots

But for your specific example it should be:

$ bst speak ask tv show {suits}

Thanks will give it a go. So slots are dynamic or only predefined values as there are thousands of shows.

Might just find a current list of TV shows then dump it in. Means it needs to be annually updated

Amazon have predefined values , one of them is actually tv series, you can also add you're own list if you find it is not sufficiently updated.

Awesome! Will let you know how I go. Just figured out OAuth for Trakt.tv so this should be fun

[NovaGL]

Can I just do it with Proxy or does it need something else. I cant see the word in testing

EDIT: I was doing it wrong for custom intents I needed to include the slot name in the Sample Utterances

Eg. "When is {show} airing"

Figured it out it was "AMAZON.SearchAction<object@CreativeWork"

My next problem will be how to filter out the other info that gets put in the slot.

The beta builder was the answer couldn't find the answer any other way.
