The trigger setting for the Lambda arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:xxxxxxxxx:function:nodejs-alexa-skill is invalid. Error code: SkillManifestError

Question

I am not able to setup the lambda function for my alexa skill. I keep getting the following error:

The trigger setting for the Lambda arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:xxxxx:function:nodejs-alexa-skill is invalid. Error code: SkillManifestError 

But I do have other skills which are using the lambda function without any errors. All the other settings seem to be fine. Could you please let me know what the error is ?

Thanks

Most probably you forgot to add "Alexa Skills Kit" as a trigger for your lambda function. You need to add a new trigger for every skill which you want to use with your lambda. Go into the aws lambda console

-> choose your lambda

-> "Configuration"

-> "Add trigger"
