Is there another API similar to skill messaging API that does not require a user Id?

Is there another API similar to skill messaging API that does not require a user Id?

Or is there a way for skill messaging API to work without a userId?

I want to make use of skill messaging api(which requires a userId) to send message to the skill endpoint and trigger the proactive event api multicast(which does not require a user id) inside the skill code.


Thank you

Hi, is there a specific reason you need to invoke Proactive Events from the skill endpoint ? Proactive Events can be invoked from external (to skill endpoint) code.

We want all alexa-specific apis inside the skill endpoint and only the skill messaging will be used outside.

OK, well you could add another trigger type to your lambda endpoint and invoke the skill endpoint yourselves with a custom event. Intercept that event before the normal Alexa event processing takes place and call the Proactive Events API from your custom event handler.
