The Voice Monkey API provides a bridge between Alexa and Pipedream, enabling you to send custom announcements, notifications, or commands to your Alexa devices. With this API, you can trigger Alexa to speak a custom message or execute routines, leveraging the power of voice interaction in your automated workflows.
