Alexa-enabled devices can now interact with their iCloud calendar.
Amazon added support for Apple’s iCloud calendar service to Alexa this week, making it possible for iPhone owners to access and use their calendar through devices such as the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, and more. In addition to iCloud, Alexa also supports email from G Suite, Gmail, Office 365, and Outlook.
Setting up iCloud requires users to use the smartphone-based Alexa app. Two-factor authentication through Apple iCloud is required.
Once the link is established, Apple users need only say, “Alexa, what’s on my calendar today?” or “Alexa, add lunch with Sarah at noon to my calendar” in order to interact with their iCloud calendar. The feature is available to Alexa-support devices in the U.S., U.K., and Germany.
