Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1183
Hey, hey Teri here with your flash briefing for Sunday, as you may know, on Sunday, we like to answer questions from the community.
And today I’ve got one from Fred Spearey and Fred asks, “My Alexa just gave a short tone, and now has a pulsing pale yellow green ring. What is she doing?”
Great question, so Fred, Lolli May Doodle responded, and thanks to all you for doing that and Lolli’s answer is exactly right.
Lolli says, “You have a notification, for example, were you expecting an Amazon package? Ask Alexa, what’s my notification and she’ll tell you what it’s about”.
most often the notifications are because you have just received the package or sometimes it’s a weather alert
And in my experience, most often the notifications are because you have just received the package or sometimes it’s a weather alert in your area if you’ve set that up.
So those are two examples of notifications that Alexa could be giving you, there probably are other ones as well but those have been the ones that I have experienced personally.
So thanks so much Lolli for answering the question, thank you, Fred, for asking the question and I hope that is helpful to a number of people in the community.
So have a wonderful Sunday and I’ll be back tomorrow with your next flash briefing, talk to you soon.
