This topic describes how to attach a product to a skill and manage attached products for Voice Service integration.

Overview

If your product needs to use a third-party voice service, you must first attach the product to a skill on the Voice Service management page in the platform. For more information about skills, see Skill management.

Note If you use the Cloud Intelligence App, you can skip steps, such as creating a skill, and directly use the public skill to attach your product. For private brand apps, you must create a dedicated skill.

  2. On the Product List page, click Attach Product in the upper-left corner to open the Attach Product page.
