You can create an IFTTT applet where the “If” trigger is a specific phrase spoken to Alexa (e.g., “Alexa, trigger movie night”). Or, if you’re trying to track your mood, you could say, “Alexa, trigger good mood” or “Alexa, trigger bad mood,” and have those entries logged with a timestamp. Just search for keywords like “Alexa lights,” “Alexa email,” or “Alexa location.” This ‘trigger’ keyword acts as a signal to Alexa that you’re initiating an IFTTT applet rather than a native Alexa command or routine. To connect IFTTT to Alexa, first, create an IFTTT account if you don't have one.
