Alexa will now respond with a random phrase each time. You can use the include for as many different intents as you like so you only need to create the list once. Alexa will now respond with a random phrase each time. You can use the include for as many different intents as you like so you only need to create the list once.
## Workaround for having to say the skill's name
Sometimes, you want to run script or scene intents without using the skill's name. For example, 'Alexa `<some script>`' instead of 'Alexa ask Home Assistant to run `<some script>`' because it is shorter.
You can do this by using Alexa routines.
1. Configure a routine in the Alexa app that responds to the command you want to use:
- For example, 'Alexa, turn on the dryer'.
2. Make sure this routine includes a customized action that contains the full phrase you configured in your skill:
- For example, 'Alexa, ask Home Assistant to run the dryer on script'.
