Hey guys,
I’m new to this forum…I’m interested in creating an Alexa skill with Losant. I have no prior coding experience. my skill would have a question/answer process with the user. is there a way to document the answers from the user either through text or audio using Losant? would i use a variable?
thanks
Brent

Hi Brent!
I would say that the best place to start would be our blog post on this topic:
> **[How to Build an Interactive Alexa Skill with no Code Using Losant](https://www.losant.com/blog/how-to-build-an-interactive-alexa-skill-with-no-code-using-losant)**

It really covers the same question/answer model you want. It might be helpful if you went through this example step by step to get familiar with things.
As far as saving your responses, here is where I think a little programming knowledge could help. Ideally, you want to send this information to your own API or Database. However, You could do this with [Data Tables.](https://docs.losant.com/data-tables/overview/).
