At this point, you should have a working copy of our Helper skill. In order to make it your own, you will need to customize it with data and responses that you create. Here are the things you will need to change:
-
New sentences to respond to your users. There are several sentences and responses that you will want to customize for your skill.
-
Go back to your copy of index.js.
-
Look for the comment "TODO: Update these messages to customize." This is the beginning of the section where you need to customize several text strings for your skill.
-
Continue through index.js until you reach the bottom of the file. This will ensure that you cover each of the values that you need to update.
-
-
New language. If you are creating this skill for another language other than English, you will need to make sure Alexa's responses are also in that language.
- For example, if you are creating your skill in German, every single response that Alexa makes has to be in German. You can't use English responses or your skill will fail certification.
-
Once you have made the updates listed on this page, you can click "Next" to move on to Publishing and Certification of your skill.
