Alexa and Pushbullet

[confused]

Please help me with Alexa. I can start my PC with IFTTT, Pushbullet and Automagic, but I cannot shut down with IFTTT, Pushbullet and Push2Run.

So, here it is:

Title: If You say "Alexa trigger shut down my pc", then Push a note

Say a specific phrase -> What phrase?: shut down my pc

Push a note
This Action will push a new note to your Pushbullet inbox.
Message (optional): shut down

Does not work.

in IFTTT, after you have done the 'then' part (to have Alexa respond to a specific phrase'), you click on the 'that' portion of the IFTTT 'if this then that', and follow the instructions starting at step 16 here: https://www.push2run.com/setup_pushbullet.html

Well, thanks.

Step 18:
You cannot insert 'TextField', but it works with 'shut down' (no quotes).

I changed only Title (optional): Push2Run MYCOMPUTERNAME (from Push2Run -> Options -> Pushbullet -> Title filter)

[RobLatour]

Yes, and of course you are right - inserting text field works with the a Google trigger but not an Alexa trigger.

Including the words you need, 'shut down' in your case, in the message part of the IFTTT Pushbullet 'then' action is exactly what you need to do.

Assume it is working for you now.

Yes, thank you, it's working.
