Skill gets a launch request as Intent request in a same session.

Hi There,

I am working on custom Alexa skill. I am using c# for Lambda function and i am handling Launch request inside a function. But while i awake a skill say like:- "Begin <skill invocation name>" then i get a response as welcome message and session gets started. But whenever again i say like:- "Start <Skill invocation name>" in a same session then skill gets it as a intent request. That is why i am getting error:- "The skill must respond to all launch requests without an error response." in a functionality testing of skill. Please help me out how to resolve this issue.

Hi,

saying the utterance "Start <invocation name>" after having launched the skill is indeed an intent request. To get the welcome message again with the same utterance you should close the session first.

Can you please share your Skill-ID in order to have a look?

Kind regards,
Gaetano
