How to obtain Alexa Skill ID of any public Alexa Skill? - alexa-skill

I would like to trigger this Alexa Skill (which I did not build) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kailash-Panwar-Personal-Affirmations/dp/B07SVY2RMT using the Alexa Media Player Home Assistant Integration (https://github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player/wiki#triggering-a-skill). This requires the Skill ID. Could you please tell me how to obtain this Skill ID if I did not build this Skill?

Only developers and owners have access to the skill id of their skills. The documentation you mention refers to your own skill id that you can get in the developer console.

Create Service Now (SNOW) incident from Google DialogFlow

I have a free SNOW developers instance ,and i want to be able to raise an incident from Google DialogFlow. I have the user name and reason for the call transcribed into text and need to pass it to SNOW to create the incident. I have already created an integration where i can query the status of a SNOW incident from Google.
Here you go, you can do this with fulfillment.
Enable fulfillment on that intent.
Write it in NodeJS or JAVA or python.
Raise the ticket from your fulfillment (use service now API make http call from your server)
Once you get the response, send the ticket number back to google assistant, reply to the user.
This the way you can implement this. Directly from dialogflow you can not integrate any other 3rd party API.

cortana custom skill not working on Windows phone

I have created a custom cortana skill using bot frame work.My channel name or invocation phrase is "S********O".When I tried to invoke Cortana skill in Windows Phone, it doesn't invoke the skill. Instead, it keeps directing me to Bing results.
I invoke skill using Ask Keyword Ask "S********O" and it redirects to bing search. Its is working fine in Andriod. Is anyone have idea about this.
There are a few reasons why you get directed to Bing instead of a skill.
The account you are using on the device is not the same one used for development (self publish / default settings)
Your region and/or language settings are not US / en-US in the App
The account you are using is an AAD joined account, not Microsoft account

It is available but only as developer preview, for exclusive companies/users. More info: link. When it will be a available, they will probably announce it in their blog: link.
So short answer would be: they are working on it, but it is publicly not available.
