Legacy guide

Google Assistant launch flow

This is a legacy workflow. Google Assistant behavior and app-launch capabilities have changed across Android versions and devices. Keep this page only for users whose current setup still supports the flow.

Original workflow

  1. Open Google Assistant on the phone.
  2. Ask Assistant to open Buttons for Alexa.
  3. When Buttons for Alexa opens in the supported flow, say the title of the saved routine you want to execute.

If this no longer works on your device, use a home-screen widget or Tasker automation instead.
