Turn On Featured or Shared Alexa Routines

Enable featured routines built by Amazon, or routines shared by others, using the Alexa app.

Use your mobile device to turn on a featured or shared routine. Scan the QR code or follow the links from texts, social media, or on the web, and then follow the steps in the app.

  1. Make sure that you have the Alexa app installed on your mobile device.
  2. Select the link or scan the QR code for the routine.
  3. Look for options in yellow text, which show that you need to make a selection to complete the setup. Select your device or follow the prompts as needed.
  4. Select Enable or Save to save and turn on the routine.
    Note: Some options for actions your devices can't perform, or devices you don't own, will be in yellow text. To turn on a routine, at least one action in the routine has to be correctly set up. If you see an inappropriate routine, Contact Us (https://www.amazon.co.uk/contact-us).
