Amazon Alexa v1.0.0

About the connector

Alexa is a virtual assistant developed by Amazon, which is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic, sports, and other real-time information, such as news. Alexa can also control several smart devices using itself as a home automation system. Users can extend the Alexa capabilities by installing "skills" (additional functionality developed by third-party vendors, in other settings more commonly called apps such as weather programs and audio features). The Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) is a collection of self-service APIs, tools, documentation, and code samples that makes it fast and easy for you to add skills to Alexa.

This document provides information about the Amazon Alexa connector, which facilitates automated interactions with the Alexa API using FortiSOAR™ playbooks. Add the Amazon Alexa connector as a step in FortiSOAR™ playbooks and perform automated operations, such as retrieving a looking up a URL using the Alexa API.
