Need to invoke a Zap from Alexa Routines step. Seeing lot of questions related to this but there is no direct answer. 
 

Requirement: Can we invoke a command “Ask Zapier to trigger “Trigger Phrase”? Without any human intervention. This works intermittently. I need some help to tweak the above command to ensure it works consistently.

I have addressed my scenarios through IFTTT webhooks and Voice Monkey Flows. Alexa is able to trigger the Voice Monkey flows without human interventions. Thanks all. 
 

If Zapier team is able to improve the Alexa integrations in future, I would love to explore them as well.

Thank you Troy for the clarification. I don’t think zapier is the product for me then. My use case requires to trigger zaps from Alexa Routines.  Basically I am trying to update some cell values in google sheets as part of some Alexa Routines.
 

I will keep exploring other options.
