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
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.amazon_alexa.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
"Accept": `application/json`,
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Node#
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.
Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Node#
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
