Can I ask a related question with regard to my streetname macro:
I'm now trying to use a MacroDroid HTTP GET to call the VoiceMonkey service passing it my established streetname as a string to be used as an Alexa announcement on my EchoDot at home (so basically the EchoDot at home says...
FrameXX, you young sir, are a very clever lad - that ActionBlock of yours is just what I was after and would've saved me several days of Googling & head scratching.
I've never used a custom ActionBlock before, so that's new to me too. Life's an adventure 😁
Oh, now that would've been very useful - thank you for finding it.
It's got quite a lot of extra stuff in the macro I don't need, but the crucial bit of using the geocode website would've saved me having to sign up for a free account on geoapify.

that allow you to press a button & obtain the 'street...
Oh, this sounds interesting. So are you saying I'll be able to bark some command at my Echo Dot (or any Alexa device?) and have it execute a MacroDroid macro without having to mess around with webhooks? That's what I'm trying to achieve so I can launch apps etc on my phone just by instructing...
Hi, I think the problem, as mentioned in the 'Handle Requests Sent by Alexa' information you linked, is where it says:
"When you create a custom skill...The code you write for this service needs to:
Return an appropriate response"
I am guessing that the webhook call to my MacroDroid macro...
I've created a simple 'Hello World' skill in my Amazon Alexa Developer Console - all it does is call an Endpoint HTTPS url which is a MacroDroid webhook url.
So I can say "Alexa, ask hello world" and it just triggers the MacroDroid webhook.
However, although my webhook triggers and my macro...
