Alexa Skill Isn't Working Correctly

My Alexa Skill isn't working as expected.

To troubleshoot issues with Alexa skills:

  • Turn off the skill and then back on.
    Tip: Before turning off the skill, make sure that you have your login credentials, as you need them to reactivate the skill later.
  • If using Amazon Family Profiles, verify that your device is on the correct profile. To verify your account, say "what profile are you in? To switch Household Profiles, say "Switch account."
    • To check what profile you're using, ask "Alexa, what profile are you in"?
    • To switch Family Profiles, say "Switch account."
  • Check the skill's detail page to see if it requires account linking. To link the account, select Link Account.
  • Some skills require certain permissions to provide you with the best experience. To check the required permissions for your skill:
    1. Open the Alexa app .
    2. Select More.
    3. Select Skills & Games.
    4. Scroll down to Your Skills.
    5. Select the skill.
    6. Select Settings and check if any account permissions say Not Granted.

Tip: You can manage your skill permissions from the Alexa app or Alexa Privacy Settings (https://www.amazon.co.uk/alexaprivacysettings)in your Amazon account.
