Question

How do I integrate a single command Zap into an Alexa routine on Zapier?

L

I’m looking to add a zap to an Alexa routine.

It seems I can’t do this now as Alexa requires an interaction on my part by voicing the trigger command AFTER giving the “trigger a zap” command. Is there any way to make this a single command? “Alexa, ask Zapier to trigger [TRIGGER-PHRASE]”

Any suggested workarounds?

Info from the Zap trigger: Alexa - Trigger Phrase Spoken

Indicates it’s involves 2 parts to trigger.
