Set a reminder/timer on an Alexa Custom Skill?

1.7k Views Asked by At

I'd like an alarm to go off based on my custom alexa skill. Is it possible to set a timer similar to manually asking Alexa to set a timer through a skill?

No, that is not currently possible, but Amazon is certainly are of developers desire for this.

Your skill sends responses to the user within the context of a request - it can't initiate new output minutes later.

You might be able to do something hacky with a very long response or with the new audio streaming capability but I don't think that would get you what you want.
