the last step here then is going to ask us to choose a template and for this we're going to just leave it on start from scratch and then we're going to press continue with template this is then going to take a couple of minutes while alexa propagates and creates all the bits that we need for our new skill while you're waiting for those resources to generate if you're not already hit that subscribe button and if you ding dong the notification bell you'll be alerted to any future video that i do when that finally completes you should be presented with the developer console and you'll see these little pop-ups to tell you that the build was successful so for now we're just going to close these little help notifications as i mentioned we're going to be referencing keaton taylor's alexa actions guide and for this we're going to be copying and pasting bits from their github so just make sure you've got that opened up and ready in another tab back on the developer console the first thing we're going to want to do is to set the invocation name to do this we're going to just press invocation in the left hand menu you'll then see the skill invocation name and it will say change me and we're just going to update this as we're following along with the guide we're going to set this to be custom actions now if this is the first skill you've set up i would recommend you copy everything to the t with the guide that way if you get stuck or make any mistakes you can reference directly to the guide and everything should match up so just copy along and once you've made one or two skills feel free to come in and play around with these settings and see what else you can create so with custom actions entered we're going to just press save model and we'll see a pop-up to say that the skill successfully saved the next thing we're going to need to do is to update the skill manifest to do this we're going to press on interaction model in the left hand menu and then we're going to press json editor we're then going to want to switch over to our other tab and we're going to open up the skills manifest and we're going to choose local enus we can then just press this raw button and what that's going to allow us to do is to just copy and paste everything here a little handy shortcut as if you just press ctrl a and then control c that will copy everything to your clipboard we can then head back to our developer console and we're going to select everything here again using control a and then we're going to overwrite that using control v so just make sure you've copied everything from that file in the git repo over to this one and once you've done that we're going to press build model up at the top there when that's finished building you'll see a little pop-up like this just to tell you that the full build was successful now that that's successfully built we're going to configure our account link in and what this is going to allow us to do is to tie our alexa skill to our home assistant install with this we're going to want the highest security possible as we're going to be connecting our home assistant install directly to something external and for this we're going to
START_INTERACTION_TOKEN while you're waiting for those resources to generate if you're not already hit that subscribe button and if you ding dong the notification bell you'll be alerted to any future video that i do END_INTERACTION_TOKEN
