Amazon Echo and IFTTT

[jerlands]

MWareman has a great post describing how to compose a URL for use with the portal.

 

Basically what you need to do is log into IFTTT.com and begin creating a recipe.  Use Amazon Alexa as the trigger channel and Maker as the action channel.  Create the entire string in the URL field, set Get for the Method, Text as Content Type, leave Body blank then create.  Voila

 

I find Echo recognizes everything I have yet listed as a phrase.  I'm still a bit leary of delays I initially experienced but at this time responses are almost immediate.
