Overview of Amazon Alexa#

The Amazon Alexa API connects your Pipedream workflows to Alexa's smart capabilities, enabling you to build voice-driven interactions and extend the functionality of Alexa Skills. Interact with users through their Alexa devices, manage and update Skills, or harness Alexa's smart home control. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create complex workflows that respond to Alexa events, trigger actions in other services, or process voice commands for custom outcomes.

Connect Amazon Alexa#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    amazon_alexa: {
      type: "app",
      app: "amazon_alexa",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.amazonalexa.com/v1/skills/{{your_skill_id}}/credentials`, //for testing: amzn1.ask.skill.94225570-3d93-4671-acb0-34160d640740

        "Accept": `application/json`,
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Data Stores#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.

Connect Data Stores#

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    myDataStore: {
      type: "data_store",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    await this.myDataStore.set("key_here","Any serializable JSON as the value")
    return await this.myDataStore.get("key_here")
  },
})
