Please find below details :

Intent with utterances

2.AWS lambda intent handler code

 const DeliveryPercentage_Handler = {
   canHandle(handlerInput) {
   const request = handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request;
   return (
    request.type === "IntentRequest" &&
    request.intent.name === "DeliveryPercentage"
  );
},
 async handle(handlerInput) {
  const request = handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request;
  const responseBuilder = handlerInput.responseBuilder;
  let sessionAttributes = 
handlerInput.attributesManager.getSessionAttributes();

var num2 = request.intent.slots;
if (num2) {
  console.log("numb2");
  console.log(JSON.stringify(num2));
  output1 = "The sum of " + num2 + " and " + num2 + " is " + (num2 + num2);
}

// let dataResponse = await getShipmentInPercentage(1,"Delivery");
// let say = "Your delivery percentage is " + (dataResponse.percentage);

let say = "test " + num2.numbnew.value;
return responseBuilder
  .speak(say)
  .reprompt("try again, " + say)
  .getResponse();

} };

3.Getting the slots with name but not the value in it

Slot log value is missing ** { "numbnew": { "name": "numbnew", "confirmationStatus": "NONE" } } **

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance !

Utterances that you have set for your intent DeliveryPercentage is

"What is the delivery percentage {numbnew}"

where {numbnew} is your intent slot which will collect value for above utterances, I guess when you are testing this skill you are only saying "What is the delivery percentage" instead you need to say "What is the delivery percentage 80" or any number you want!

then you will get following response in your request

"slots": {
        "numbnew": {
            "name": "numbnew",
            "value": "80",
            "confirmationStatus": "NONE",
            "source": "USER"
        }
    }

Suggestion, if you are trying to collect percentage data from user, then try to make this question "What is the delivery percentage" in response builder of AWS lambda intent handler and make Utterances with something like this "My percentage is {numbnew}"
