Call alexa-intent from lambda function (without request from the device)

Hi everybody,


I have the following problem with my Alexa Skill (used for APL devices). Once my skill is invoked, I want to display APL-content on the device according to different event-triggers from the lambda function.


So is there a possibility to call a new intent from a lambda function (and display APL on the device) without a certan request from the device?


Thanks in advance!

No, it is impossible to do anything with device without interacting with it.

If you want this as a feature though, you can submit it in uservoice-alexa webspace: here.

Thank you for your answer!


Maybe do you also know if the device is able to send sheduled requests to the lambda function directly after a skill is invoced (without human interaction again)?

                "arguments": ["paramter 1", "parameter2", "parameter 3"]
            }]
        }]
    }
}

This would send an event to the skill backend one second after the layout was rendered
