After going live, the skill is getting negative reviews stating that the skill does not understand the city names when customers try to book travel.The Alexa Skill Builder adds AMAZON.FallbackIntent to the interaction model with the goal of providing better messaging for out-of-domain utterances.Why will the addition of AMAZON.FallbackIntent fail to resolve the customer issue?

AMAZON.FallbackIntent will not be triggered in the middle of a dialog.

A handler cannot be added to a Live skill.

AMAZON.FallbackIntent will cause the slot values to be incorrectly mapped.

AMAZON.FallbackIntent cannot be present in a skill with a Dialog directive.

An Alexa Skill Builder is developing a skill containing a multi-turn dialog that can be invoked with or without a specific intent request. On invocation, the skill needs to retrieve persistent attributes that have been saved by a previous invocation, and then copy them into session attributes.How should the Builder implement this functionality?

An Alexa Skill Builder has built a new custom skill backed by an AWS Lambda function. The Lambda function executes successfully from the Lambda console, however, the Lambda function cannot be successfully invoked in the developer console or from an Amazon Alexa enabled device. No error messages show in the function’s Amazon CloudWatch Logs. The Builder confirmed the endpoint has the correct ARN.What is likely causing this issue and how can it be corrected?

The Lambda application code has a bug that is causing it to crash. Modify the code to fix the bug, then redeploy the Lambda function.

The ASK SDK was not deployed with the Lambda function. Add the ASK SDK, then redeploy the Lambda function.

The ASK trigger for the Lambda function has been restricted to the wrong skill ID. Re-create the trigger with the correct skill ID.

An Alexa Skill Builder is troubleshooting issues with a custom skill backed by an AWS Lambda function that integrates with an external API controlling a light bulb. The Builder observes that when saying "Alexa, turn on the light" the response is "light is not responding" and 10 seconds later, the light turns on.What is the MOST likely cause for this issue and how can it be solved?

There is a bug in the Lambda function code preventing the external API from being called. Enable Lambda debugging and error handling and check Amazon CloudWatch Logs for the error, then modify the code accordingly.

The Lambda function is not executing fast enough. Double the currently specified Lambda memory allocation in the Lambda basic settings section.

The default Lambda function timeout setting is too short and the Lambda function times out before the response from the external API can be processed and a reply can be sent back to Amazon Alexa. Increase the Lambda timeout limit.

There are too many concurrent Lambda functions running, causing the existing Lambda function to block and then time out before a response can be returned to Amazon Alexa. Increase the Lambda function reserve concurrency value to 30, then verify that the function can complete its work within 10 seconds.

There is a bug in the Lambda function code preventing the external API from being called. Enable Lambda debugging and error handling and check Amazon CloudWatch Logs for the error, then modify the code accordingly.
