"Alexa, trigger log the time"

First, we need to connect Amazon Alexa and Google Sheets to IFTTT.

• 

  Create IFTTT account.

  Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.

• 

  Connect Amazon Alexa to IFTTT.

  Give IFTTT access to your Amazon Alexa account, using Amazon Alexa credentials.

• 

  Connect Google Sheets to IFTTT.

  Give IFTTT access to your Google Sheets account, using Google Sheets credentials.

Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.

• 

  Set up a Trigger action for Amazon Alexa

  Choose the following trigger: Say a specific phrase (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.).

• 

  Then set up an Action for Google Sheets

  Choose this action: Add row to spreadsheet (This action will add a single row to the bottom of the first worksheet of a spreadsheet you specify. Note: a new spreadsheet is created after 2000 rows.).

Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.

• 

  Customize data flow

  Configure the data that is exchanged between Amazon Alexa and Google Sheets.

• 

  Test the workflow and turn it on for production use

  Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will "Alexa, trigger log the time"!
