Trigger a Zap by saying "__Alexa__, ask __Zapier__ to __trigger a Zap__",
         then say your trigger phrase when asked.

You can provide multiple phrases, 3-6 words each,
         and saying any one of them will trigger your Zap.
         Keep each phrase simple so Alexa understands it easily.

After you've said your trigger phrase, Alexa will ask you to provide an answer to this additional prompt question.

Amazon Alexa is used to set up your Alexa-enabled devices, listen to music, create shopping lists, get news updates, and much more.
