I'm creating a custom Alexa skill and it need to collect a unknown number of names that the user says.
I have tried to store the names in a slot. I was able to get one name to work this way but not multiple. Right now, I am trying to ask the user for a number of people and then ask the user the names. But, I can not figure out how to get that solution to work. Also, I am trying to store the names in the session attributes.
Here is a what I have so far
// Api call wrapped into a promise. Returns the person's email.
return findEmployee(sessionAttributes.client, givenName)
.then(attendee => {
let prompt = ''
if (attendee.value.length === 1) {
sessionAttributes.attendees = [...sessionAttributes.attendees, attendee.value[0]]
prompt = `${attendee.value.displayName} added to the meeting.`
return handlerInput.responseBuilder
.speak(prompt)
.reprompt(prompt)
.getResponse()
}
})
.catch(err => console.log(err))
This snippet works fine with one person but how would I refactor it so Alexa will ask until a end condition is reached.
from How would I ask the user for a list of names?
