I have got a question on testing the invocation of a custom skill in Alexa.
My invocation name is let's say "merry christmas", if I type or speak it in the test section of Alexa Skills creation, LaunchRequest is triggered and conversation starts.
As soon as I submit the skill for certification, Amazon is correctly testing it with a phrase like "Alexa, launch merry christmas". In this case the LaunchRequest is not triggered.
How can I test the whole invocation name in the console? Is there any way to debug why the LaunchRequest is not triggered? Does it trigger a different intent rather that "LaunchRequest"?
Thanks
I do not believe there is a way to test the complete invocation phrase.
To try and debug this issue you should log your request at the app root where the request comes in, before your intent handlers are executed. This will let you see if you are receiving any request at all, and if so what it is instead of a
LaunchRequest.
