 Hello everyone, this is Ahmed Don of AhmedDon.com. Today I will have another episode of Alexa tips and tricks video and I'll talk about How to set up a routine on Alexa? So Alexa routine is a set of actions or sequence of actions which happens one after another and You can use a specific phrase or word or anything you'd like to make Alexa do a series of works and you can set it up easily on your Alexa home app which you will be able to access from any Alexa devices. For example, I have one Right here, so I'm going to show you how to set it up and then we'll just you know test it if it works so the first thing you're going to be doing you have to open the Alexa app on your phone and You're going to be taking a look at the lower right corner under more which is right here So as of this recording the more button is right here on the lower right, but you know if there's an Alexa upgrade and Changes that it might move to somewhere else But you know the idea that you have to look for this button more So once you click on it, then you're going to see a list of things you can add or do and One of them is going to be here routine. So we'll click on routines and See here, I have to routine set up which is good night and start my day But just to show you for today's video I'm going to show you or to create a new one So I'm going to just you know add on the plus icon which is on the upper right So if you just add here and then you have to just enter a name and We'll just you know enter a name which we can just say test and then You can click next and then When this happens so what it means that you know, this is the phrase or word you are going to ask Alexa and then This routine is going to be continued. So let's say we're going to hit plus and then You're going to set it up by your voice, but you have the options to Set it up by alarms or schedule or smart home So I'll just you know choose voice just to you know keep it simple and Then here it's Once you do enter the phrase. So I'm just going to say let's say test. So test and Then next and then here you can see that, you know, you have the add action Option so I'm going to just you know click on it and Here is a series or sequence of tasks you can do so for example, you have like, you know Calendar date and time device setting email skills Traffic so you have actually lots of things here. So let's say I'm just going to add date and time and then Tells you that, you know, Alex I'll tell you to this date and then let's go to next and then You're going to have to choose your device. So from choose device and This device is echo show five So I'm going to just you know choose this device. So we can you know check it here and then We'll save this And it just tells you that you may take up to one minute for this to be effective which is okay and then I'm going to just you know add the next routine and Enter the routine name So here you can see that you know my routine test is on the top So I'm going to just you know hit on text and then I'm going to just you know add the next Action which is right here at action. So let's add the next action and Here I can let's see what I can do so I'm just going to ask for traffic which is going to be right here and Alex I'll report traffic and confirm next and Then you can just like you know keep adding action one after another So let's just you know try one more item.
