About this workflow template
This automation scenario allows you to connect Amazon Alexa and Pushbullet
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Say a specific phrase in Amazon Alexa
This trigger fires every time you say "Alexa trigger" + the phrase that you have defined. For instance, if you set "party time" as the phrase, you can say "Alexa trigger party time" to have your lights loop colors.

Push a note in Pushbullet
This Action will push a new note to your Pushbullet inbox.
