How Do I Get an Utterance Activity ID from My Alexa Skill?

Summary

When debugging issues with your skill, Amazon may ask that you provide an utterance activity key associated with the exact utterance which failed. With that utterance activity key, Amazon can research the precise details of that particular interaction.

1. Determine Which "Review Voice History" Link To Use

  1. Open the Alexa app on iOS or Android
  2. Tap "More" and tap "Settings"
  3. Scroll down and tap "About"
  4. Under "Host Name" you'll see a value like "alexa.amazon.com"
  5. Using that "Host Name" value, refer to the table below to determine which "Review Voice History" link to use
