question

A strange error keeps occurring for me. I have a custom slot type made with various first and last names in it. When i try to invoke the skill with a specific intent that uses a name from the custom slot type, it does not grab the correct name, (even worse, it does not grab a name from the list at all!). But, when I first launch the skill, keep the session active, and then call the intent request, it grabs the correct name, which makes me wonder why it does not work when i try to just call the specific intent when launching the skill. Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this? Ideally I would still want to call the specific intent on launch.
