### {% linkable_title Support for Launch Requests %}
There may be times when you want to respond to a launch request initiated from a command such as "Alexa, Red Alert!".
To start you need to get the skill id:
- Log in to [Amazon developer console][amazon-dev-console]
- Click the Alexa button at the top of the console
- Click the Alexa Skills Kit Get Started button
- Locate the skill for which you would like Launch Request support
- Click the "View Skill ID" link and copy the ID
The configuration is the same as an intent with the exception being you will use your skill ID instead of the intent name.
```yaml
intent_script:
amzn1.ask.skill.08888888-7777-6666-5555-444444444444:
action:
service: script.turn_on
entity_id: script.red_alert
speech:
type: plain
text: OK
```
