Alexa/Lambda - redirect from one intent to another, or call one handler from another handler

It is quite simple to redirect or call one intent from another one. Using the emit function this is done seamless forwarding the information that you received in the first handler. This basically means you can forward a message for an intent to another intent. In Node.js this can be done by using Emit:

this.emit("LaunchRequest");

The above calls the handler "LaunchRequest" which then takes care of the processing. You do not have to pass anything along. I hope this simple example helps someone out there.

Do you not yet have an echo? You can easily order one from amazon:
