Technically speaking its possible, you can trigger a flow based upon alexa hearing a string, then turning the rest of the string into a variable …

It could be added to [[Alpha : 1.7.1] Amazon - Alexa Text to Speech, Announcements, Weather, News, Traffic and more](https://community.homey.app/t/alpha-1-7-1-amazon-alexa-text-to-speech-announcements-weather-news-traffic-and-more/8356) but would depend on demand.
