Creating an intent: Amazon Alexa Skills

I copied and pasted this into the intent side of Amazon Alexa skills :

"intent": "GetDefinition", "slots": [

{

  "name": "Term",
  "type": "LIST_OF_TERMS"

}

]

},

{ "intent": "AMAZON.HelpIntent" },

{ "intent": "AMAZON.StopIntent" },

{ "intent": "AMAZON.CancelIntent" }

and then this shows up: Error: There was a problem with your request: Unknown slot type 'LIST_OF_TERMS' for slot 'Term' What do I do? :(

You probably just haven't created the custom slot type yet. That's covered in the next video.
