Which interactions can I use with Alexa skills?
Some interactions are only available in our latest Alexa skills managed through the Aiir CMS. Stations with skills created by PlayoutONE will be updated in due course.
As well as the "play [station name]" invocation phrase used to turn on your skill, several other phrases are understood by Aiir's Alexa skills which you can use while listening to your station.
These all begin: "Alexa, ask [station name]..."
