Can I ask a related question with regard to my streetname macro: I'm now trying to use a MacroDroid HTTP GET to call the VoiceMonkey service passing it my established streetname as a string to be used as an Alexa announcement on my EchoDot at home (so basically the EchoDot at home says...

FrameXX, you young sir, are a very clever lad - that ActionBlock of yours is just what I was after and would've saved me several days of Googling & head scratching. I've never used a custom ActionBlock before, so that's new to me too. Life's an adventure 😁

Oh, now that would've been very useful - thank you for finding it. It's got quite a lot of extra stuff in the macro I don't need, but the crucial bit of using the geocode website would've saved me having to sign up for a free account on geoapify. UPDATE: I tried modifying my macro to use the...

Hi, thanks for the 'JSON Parse' clue - I should've looked harder 😁 However, I've now tried TextManipulation with RegEx "street":"(.+)","suburb" to extract the street name I'm after.

Oh, this sounds interesting. So are you saying I'll be able to bark some command at my Echo Dot (or any Alexa device?) and have it execute a MacroDroid macro without having to mess around with webhooks? That's what I'm trying to achieve so I can launch apps etc on my phone just by instructing...

Hi, I think the problem, as mentioned in the 'Handle Requests Sent by Alexa' information you linked, is where it says: "When you create a custom skill...The code you write for this service needs to: Return an appropriate response" I am guessing that the webhook call to my MacroDroid macro...

I've created a simple 'Hello World' skill in my Amazon Alexa Developer Console - all it does is call an Endpoint HTTPS url which is a MacroDroid webhook url. So I can say "Alexa, ask hello world" and it just triggers the MacroDroid webhook. However, although my webhook triggers and my macro...
