How do I get Alexa to execute a program command

[joepoway]

I would like to issue an Alexa command that would run the "then" command of a particular program on my EISY, how would I do this?

Thanks in advance

Joe

In reference  to the program “Alexa turn ON xxx” runs Then

”Alexa turn OFF xxx” runs Else

@joepoway if you are new to integrating Alexa and ISY, and you get lost figuring it out based on the wiki, please post back what steps you have done and where you feel you are getting lost. 

In general, you need to do the following in this order for it all to connect:

-Set up your program in ISY that you want Alexa to trigger. 

-Go to the portal and set up a 'Link' between this new program and the 'spoken' you want by selecting type: program, select the program, add a 'spoken' command. You can ignore the rest.You can add more than one spoken trigger. If you had the portal open before you finished the program, you will have to hit the Refresh button on the portal page for it to gather the new program info, otherwise, it will not show up in the drop down menu. 

-go to your Alexa or Alexa app and ask Alexa to "discover new devices". This can take up to 30 seconds or more. 

Finished.

Thanks for the prompt support, I got it now!

To the advise by dbwarner5, I add that having Alexa turn the program ON will run the THEN path of the program, and OFF will run the ELSE path.
