Error connecting Rasa in GCP to alexa

Hey. I’m trying to connect my rasa in google cloud vm to alexa. I’m using the same alexa_connector.py file provided in this link alexa_connector.py. I have added the required line in credentials.yml also. But when I run http://myserverip/webhooks/alexa_assistant I’m getting 502 Bad Gateway. Please help!

Hi Sushil! Unfortunately, the method I used to connect to Alexa in the tutorial was silently deprecated by the Alexa team some time ago. I’m afraid I don’t have any additional details or help I can offer. :frowning_face:

Thank you for the reply.

Hi @rctatman Is there any update about solutions of deploying to Alexa for public users?

As far as I know, the ability to use any NLU other than Alexa’s has been deprecated.

@rctatman does it mean Rasa conversational AI cannot be used via the Amazon Echo device using an Alexa skill?

@userRasa03 I believe that’s the case. I could have sworn I added a deprecation note to the blog post but I don’t see one, so I’ll do that now. (I saw your other post as well, I’ll reply there too.)
