I'm using a thrid party api that has values with long number. If my slot is a long number example : "70150641234232418485". what will be the slot type ? Is there any issue with suck long number. I tried using AMAZON.NUMBER but it does not take long numbers.
Thanks, Vandana
Tried using literal

got this error:
Error: There was a problem with your request: Incorrect syntax for the slot '{11111111111111111111|number}'. Each token must consist only of alphabets, white-spaces and valid punctuation marks. Valid punctuation marks are periods for abbreviations, possesive apostrophes and hyphens. Occurred in sample 'Tracking what is the status of {11111111111111111111|number}' on line 1.
Unfortunately, AMAZON.NUMBER doesn't support numbers with that many digits. You could try creating a custom slot type with the following values:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 And then create multiple slots (with different names) that use that slot type. You could then create a sample utterance like:
Tracking what is the status of {SlotOne} {SlotTwo} {SlotThree} {SlotFour} {SlotFive} {SlotSix} {SlotSeven} {SlotEight} {SlotNine} {SlotTen} {SlotEleven} {SlotTwelve} {SlotThirteen} {SlotFourteen} {SlotFifteen} {SlotSixteen} {SlotSeventeen} {SlotEighteen} {SlotNineteen} {SlotTwenty} If the value can be a variety of lengths, then you will need to create several sample utterances that include as many slots as necessary. Unfortunately, longer utterances tend to lead to more mis-recognitions, so the above sample utterance may not be very accurate. Also, when using the LITERAL slot type, values should be written out. So instead of:
Tracking what is the status of {11111111111111111111|number} Use:
Tracking what is the status of {one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one|number} If you wish to use LITERAL, you will need to provide as many sample utterances as possible since I assume that the value can be any combination of twenty digits.
