Develop Amazon Alexa Skill For ServiceNow

[rohantyagi]

Hello Alexa developers!     Great to be participating in AWS re:Invent and we can't wait to see what Alexa Skills you come up with at Hack Your Office.   We would love to hear about them and answer any ?'s thru the comments section below.   As an incentive we'll send an Echo speaker for the best IT service management related skill.   Just add a description in below by Dec 15, our product team who wrote the attached white paper will judge.

The white paper provides an overview of how to build and integrate private skills for the new Alexa for Business service with the ServiceNow platform so that enterprise users can use Alexa to interact with the ServiceNow platform.   You will need to be familiar with ServiceNow scripting framework and usage of REST API's (learn more @ developer.servicenow.com).

You should also be using ServiceNow version Istanbul or higher.

The paper goes through how to create a simple Alexa Skill for a user to get a list of all their open IT incidents (or cases / tickets) but the same process can be used for anything that's available through our REST API so the options are almost limitless.   Think about approvals, incident creation or updates, status of a service or configuration items, leverage your knowledge base…

Have a great event!

Hi Sashi,

But my invocation name is 'snow'. I have also pasted the screenshot of invocation 'ab ask iran tonight'. 

Thanks for the response.

Firstly you have a logging statement in your processor are you seeing that in the log. If you are not chances are the request is not even making it to your instance. I would first solve for that and prove your request is making it there.

Next try this specific statement "alexa ask snow to create a case";

try 'ask snow'  (not sure how could you create skill invocation name with one word?)

did it work?
