![]() Next, you’ll be presented with a screen to log into your Amazon account. Grant permissions to IFTTT to access your Amazon account Next, you’ll be presented with a screen to connect to Amazon. Once you see the Amazon Alexa service select it. Search for “Alexa”.Īt the time of writing of this post, IFTTT states that “IFTTT is currently only supported on US Alexa devices” I live and bought my device in the UK and it works fine with Alexa. Next, you’ll be presented with a list of possible services. Click “this” as highlighted in the image below. You’ll now want to set the trigger for the workflow. In this case, we’re creating an Applet specifically to handle the process of creating new Trello cards from our voice commands to Alexa.Īs shown in the image below, select “New Applet” If you’re new to IFTTT, an Applet is a workflow that you’d like to create by connecting two services. Once you’re logged into your account select “My Applets” If you don’t already have an IFTTT account, go create one, it’s free to sign up. However, there is no reason why you couldn’t set this up from your phone. In this post, we’ll be configuring the workflow from the desktop experience of both IFTTT and Trello. In our situation, we’ll automatically create a new Trello card which will be added to a specified Trello board in a specified list. You specify a trigger, in this case, we’ll ask Alexa to remind us of XYZ task and then an action will take place. IFTTT works on a trigger/action paradigm. The way this process works is by using a service called “If this then that” if you’re not aware of the service, it’s basically an application that allows you to connect various services together to created automated workflows. This post illustrates step by step how to do just that. My Girlfriend and I use a shared Trello board to manage our mutual tasks such as the paying of bills, booking of concert tickets and holidays etc… I thought it would be great if we could use the Echo to capture tasks via voice and have the cards automatically added to our shared Trello board. One thing I was interested in exploring was using Alexa to capture tasks. I recently bought an Amazon Echo and so far I have been super impressed with the device.
