Overview of Voice Monkey#
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. It's particularly useful for smart home enthusiasts, productivity hackers, and businesses looking to integrate voice notifications into their services.

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:
