Audio Ads for Custom Alexa Skills

This document explains the process of integration Custom Alexa Skill with Instreamatic.AI Voice-Activated ads network. Please use this manual if your Alexa Skill is developed with node.js and alexa-app npm module.
​
Install Instreamatic.AI Alexa SDK
In order to use our SDK in your Alexa skill, please execute the following command in a folder containing npm modules for your skill:
bash$ npm install instreamatic-alexa-sdk
There should be node_modules/ directory to properly execute this command.

publisherId: 777,   
skillId: 777,   
preview: 44  
});  
ad_manager.adEvent('AdComplete', function(req, res) {  
... Here you can place the code you want ...  
... to run when commercial is over ...                
});  
manager.adEvent('AdNone', function(req, res) {   
... Here you can place the code you want ...  
... to run when there are no ads to play ...                
});  
app.intent("SomeYourIntent", function(req, res) {   
if (you_want_to_start_commercial) {         
return ad_manager.start(req, res);         
// ad_manager.start returns Promise   
}  
});
where:
publisherId <Integer> *required - our manager or support team member will provide you with this value.
skillId <Integer> *optional - If you operate several Skills you can use that ID to track impressions separately. Please contact our team member to receive IDs.
preview <Integer> *optional - use it for debugging

How to check if everything is working
Modify your skill accordingly.
