Here are some ideas for how to use this new feature

We wrote about adding custom actions to your Alexa routines a few weeks back in our email about adding “Alexa, what should I wear?” to your morning routine.

Today, we’re sharing some more helpful (and fun!) custom routine actions you might want to add to your routines…

• Add “Alexa, where’s my stuff?” and Alexa will give you an update on upcoming orders during your routine
• Add “Alexa, tell me a joke” to add a little laugh
• Add “Alexa, set a timer for 15 minutes” to your kids’ after-school routine to make sure they practice their instrument
• Add “Alexa, play my most recent playlist” 

How to do it: In your routine, when you select “Add Action,” there’s now an option to select “Custom.” Tap here for more details.

Pro Tip: You can only have one custom action per routine, so make it count!
