title: Alexa Skill - How to Retrieve Slot Value in Lambda Function
body: <p>I am developing an Alexa Skill with one Intent that includes a Slot with several possible values.  </p>
  
  <p>My slot is defined with <code>"name" : "Channel"</code>, <code>"type" : "LIST_OF_CHANNELS"</code>, and values </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>iqram </li>
  <li>ingrid </li>
  <li>phil </li>
  <li>clyde</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>How do I retrieve the uttered <strong>slot value</strong> to use in my Lambda function? It's the <em>"retrieve value of slot from utterance part"</em> I'm looking to have answered. Thanks so much.</p>
  
  <pre><code> // retrieve value of slot from utterance     
   var c = intent.slots.Channel.value; 
  
   // append value to end of URL that references API
   fetchEnseParse("/channel/" + c, function(body) {
  
   // continuation of this function is below 
  </code></pre>
