Interactions.json documentation

[JWebCoder]

Hello, we've been following the documentation for both Voxa and Voxa-cli in order to make a simple test bot running, but without any results.

We were able to make the full deploy up to the creation of the lambda functions on aws. But now we would like to know how to connected everything together and how to test the bot.

Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thank you.

Hey @JWebCoder for which platform are you building the bot?

[JWebCoder]

Hello @wuelcas sorry for the delayed answer. We are building it for alexa.

Hello. If you're building it for Alexa, can you try your skill locally using yarn watch and exposing port 3000 with ngrok, the Alexa endpoint should be your ngrok URL plus /alexa. If there's an error let me know what is it.

One other thing that maybe it's happening (and this a known issue) is that if you used serverless to deploy your lambda and dynamo table, you may need to change the way you set the table name from this: TableName: ${self:custom.config.dynamodb.tables.users}, to this: TableName: ${self:custom.config.dynamoDB.tables.users}.

If you noticed your local.json file (that probably you used the template from local.example.json) the key name for your dynamo object (dynamoDB) is not the same as the one used in serverless (dynamodb) that can be causing the issue but I'm not sure if that's your problem.

Anyways, any more details about your issue will be helpful to help you better.
