This automation scenario allows you to connect Amazon Alexa and Discord
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots 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.

Amazon Alexa and Discord can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires 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.

This action will send a message from the IFTTT Bot to the channel you specify.
