title: How trigger Alexa alert from an lambda or external API
body: <p>The main goal is to make Alexa speak each time defined text when lambda is triggered.</p>
  <p>There already is one similar solution, &quot;<a href="https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/smapi/proactive-events-api.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Proactive Events Notifications</a>&quot;, but instead of activating yellow light on the dispositive, I need Alexa to say the defined message.</p>
  <p>Also, I've seen the &quot;<a href="https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/smapi/skill-messaging-api-reference.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Skill Messaging API</a>&quot;, but don't really understand if it is the solution.</p>
  <p>Maybe you would help with this issue.</p>
