Overview
The contact skill is an equivalent of a contact-us form, walking the user through collecting their name, email address, and message. The skill will then send the collected data to a REST endpoint specified or the specified email address.
This is an intent-based skill, meaning the skill is triggered when the user utters Can I send a message, can I contact a human, Can I send an email, how can I contact you, can you contact me, etc.
This skill is highly configurable, allowing you to set the information you would like to collect and the phrases the Digital Person says before each option. The Digital Person shows options cards that indicate which methods of contact are accepted, and also speaks the options.
Limitations
The contact skill does not work with the Skill - Translation in the same project.
