jovo-component-email-ts v1.0.0

Configuration

This component allows you to fetch the users email address, either with Account Linking (Alexa|Google Assistant) or Contact Permissions (Alexa). Since Alexa allows you both options, you need to choose one in config.js:

// config.js

alexa: 'contact-permissions' // account-linking|contact-permissions(default)

If you decide to choose Account Linking for Alexa or want to get the users email for Google Assistant, you need to create an Auth0 profile, which provides you with a User-Profile-Link that you have to set in config.js:

// config.js

auth0: '' // e.g. https://your-username.auth0.com/userinfo

To activate Contact Permissions for your skill, either set the permissions in your project.js or directly in the Alexa Skill console.

// config.js

manifest: {
    permissions: [
        {
            name: "alexa::profile:email:read"
        }
    ]
}

You can find tutorials for Account Linking on our website for Alexa and Google Assistant.
