When I was looking for how to tell my Amazon Echo how to call someone in an emergency using Jim's "Ask My Buddy" idea ... my niece looked up the steps on how to do this but found that IFFT did it better, whether it uses a "recipe" or a "skill." However, IFFT works *through* my Amazon Echo to call a family member to call for help for me in one way or another. ~Lori On Fri, Jun 3, 2016 at 10:11 PM, Eric Olson <[email protected]> wrote: > Recipes makes me think you're taking about IFTTT or if this than that. > Check it out. https://ifttt.com/ > > On 5/25/2016 11:58 PM, Lori Michaelson wrote: > > OMG!
