Dialpad + Amazon Alexa

Welcome to the future of hands-free communications. With Dialpad for Amazon Alexa, your Alexa device can make and receive Dialpad calls and messages, pull your weekly analytics reports, and even join your weekly Dialpad Meetings.

How it works

Ready to start using hands-free communication? Just navigate to the Dialpad app in the Alexa Skills store to download and link your Amazon account to Dialpad.

Once that's complete, you can use Alexa with Dialpad.

  1. State a Dialpad command — "Dialpad, call Craig" 
  2. Select the device you want to use

That's it, the call is now being handled through Dialpad!  
 

Device availability

You can use the following devices with Alexa:

  • Deskphones
  • Mobile (requires carrier for inbound calls)
