Techniques for providing and implementing a single skill associated with custom functionality and system-provided functionality are described. The skill may be used to invoke functionality in response to a user input without requiring a user remember exact formulations to cause the functionality to be performed. The skill may be associated with more than one domain. For example, the skill may be associated with custom sample user inputs (corresponding to the custom functionality) that correspond to a custom domain while the skill may also be associated with system-provided sample user inputs (corresponding to the system-provided functionality) associated with a non-custom domain.

Multi-domain skills

A user registers with a reverse procurement service. The user then searches an electronic marketplace, which is external to a remote procurement service and, subsequently, selects various items to be placed in a shopping cart or project. Upon checkout, the items are submitted for approval to the remote procurement service which is external to the reverse procurement service. The remote procurement service obtains approval and sends payment information to the reverse procurement service. Upon receive of payment information, the reverse procurement service then initiates a process for providing the approved items to the user.

Techniques for item procurement

Systems and methods are provided for generating a uniform resource identifier ('URI') based on information relating to a transaction between two or more parties, and verifying the authenticity of the information embedded in the URI before generating a user interface to be displayed to one of the parties to the transaction. For example, the URI may include information relating to the terms of the transaction to which the parties have agreed. A system associated with a facilitator of the transaction may verify the authenticity of the terms embedded in the URI before dynamically generating a user interface that enables the transaction to proceed.
