Class PutIntentRequest

    • Method Detail

      • name

        public final String name()

        The name of the intent. The name is not case sensitive.

        The name can't match a built-in intent name, or a built-in intent name with "AMAZON." removed. For example, because there is a built-in intent called AMAZON.HelpIntent, you can't create a custom intent called HelpIntent.

        For a list of built-in intents, see Standard Built-in Intents in the Alexa Skills Kit.

        Returns:
        The name of the intent. The name is not case sensitive.

        The name can't match a built-in intent name, or a built-in intent name with "AMAZON." removed. For example, because there is a built-in intent called AMAZON.HelpIntent, you can't create a custom intent called HelpIntent.

        For a list of built-in intents, see Standard Built-in Intents in the Alexa Skills Kit.

      • description

        public final String description()

        A description of the intent.

        Returns:
        A description of the intent.
      • hasSlots

        public final boolean hasSlots()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the Slots property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • slots

        public final List<Slot> slots()

        An array of intent slots. At runtime, Amazon Lex elicits required slot values from the user using prompts defined in the slots. For more information, see how-it-works.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasSlots() method.

        Returns:
        An array of intent slots. At runtime, Amazon Lex elicits required slot values from the user using prompts defined in the slots. For more information, see how-it-works.
      • hasSampleUtterances

        public final boolean hasSampleUtterances()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the SampleUtterances property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • sampleUtterances

        public final List<String> sampleUtterances()

        An array of utterances (strings) that a user might say to signal the intent. For example, "I want {PizzaSize} pizza", "Order {Quantity} {PizzaSize} pizzas".

        In each utterance, a slot name is enclosed in curly braces.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasSampleUtterances() method.

        Returns:
        An array of utterances (strings) that a user might say to signal the intent. For example, "I want {PizzaSize} pizza", "Order {Quantity} {PizzaSize} pizzas".

        In each utterance, a slot name is enclosed in curly braces.

      • confirmationPrompt

        public final Prompt confirmationPrompt()

        Prompts the user to confirm the intent. This question should have a yes or no answer.

        Amazon Lex uses this prompt to ensure that the user acknowledges that the intent is ready for fulfillment. For example, with the OrderPizza intent, you might want to confirm that the order is correct before placing it. For other intents, such as intents that simply respond to user questions, you might not need to ask the user for confirmation before providing the information.

        You you must provide both the rejectionStatement and the confirmationPrompt, or neither.

        Returns:

      • rejectionStatement

        public final Statement rejectionStatement()

        When the user answers "no" to the question defined in confirmationPrompt, Amazon Lex responds with this statement to acknowledge that the intent was canceled.

        You must provide both the rejectionStatement and the confirmationPrompt, or neither.

        Returns:
        When the user answers "no" to the question defined in confirmationPrompt, Amazon Lex responds with this statement to acknowledge that the intent was canceled.

        You must provide both the rejectionStatement and the confirmationPrompt, or neither.

      • followUpPrompt

        public final FollowUpPrompt followUpPrompt()

        Amazon Lex uses this prompt to solicit additional activity after fulfilling an intent. For example, after the OrderPizza intent is fulfilled, you might prompt the user to order a drink.

        The action that Amazon Lex takes depends on the user's response, as follows:

        • If the user says "Yes" it responds with the clarification prompt that is configured for the bot.

        • if the user says "Yes" and continues with an utterance that triggers an intent it starts a conversation for the intent.

        • If the user says "No" it responds with the rejection statement configured for the the follow-up prompt.

        • If it doesn't recognize the utterance it repeats the follow-up prompt again.

        The followUpPrompt field and the conclusionStatement field are mutually exclusive. You can specify only one.

        Returns:

      • conclusionStatement

        public final Statement conclusionStatement()

        The statement that you want Amazon Lex to convey to the user after the intent is successfully fulfilled by the Lambda function.

        This element is relevant only if you provide a Lambda function in the fulfillmentActivity. If you return the intent to the client application, you can't specify this element.

        The followUpPrompt and conclusionStatement are mutually exclusive. You can specify only one.

        Returns:
        The statement that you want Amazon Lex to convey to the user after the intent is successfully fulfilled by the Lambda function.

      • dialogCodeHook

        public final CodeHook dialogCodeHook()

        Specifies a Lambda function to invoke for each user input. You can invoke this Lambda function to personalize user interaction.

        For example, suppose your bot determines that the user is John. Your Lambda function might retrieve John's information from a backend database and prepopulate some of the values. For example, if you find that John is gluten intolerant, you might set the corresponding intent slot, GlutenIntolerant, to true. You might find John's phone number and set the corresponding session attribute.

      • fulfillmentActivity

        public final FulfillmentActivity fulfillmentActivity()

        Required. Describes how the intent is fulfilled. For example, after a user provides all of the information for a pizza order, fulfillmentActivity defines how the bot places an order with a local pizza store.

        You might configure Amazon Lex to return all of the intent information to the client application, or direct it to invoke a Lambda function that can process the intent (for example, place an order with a pizzeria).

      • checksum

        public final String checksum()

        Identifies a specific revision of the $LATEST version.

        When you create a new intent, leave the checksum field blank. If you specify a checksum you get a BadRequestException exception.

        When you want to update a intent, set the checksum field to the checksum of the most recent revision of the $LATEST version. If you don't specify the checksum field, or if the checksum does not match the $LATEST version, you get a PreconditionFailedException exception.

        Returns:
        Identifies a specific revision of the $LATEST version.
