What's new with Voice Monkey?

Media Library

We're adding our own library of audio sound effects and videos for use in your Flows and automations.

Ambient Videos and Soundscapes for Halloween

A selection of Halloween-themed ambient videos and soundscapes to help your Halloween home decor come alive.

Media Library shortcuts

Access your Media files more easily from within Flows and the API Playground using the Media Library shortcut.

Echo Dot with Clock character display

Set the display on your "Echo Dot with Clock" via an API call or via Flows.

Announcement text on Echo Shows

When creating an announcement within Flows, you can now display the announcement text on a screen-enabled Alexa device.

no_bg parameter

You can now remove the green monkey background from Echo Show announcements, either within Flows or using the no_bg parameter in API calls.

Meet Vomo!

Vomo is our new company mascot. Say hello.

New Flow actions

• Web Requests — HTTP GET/POST to another URL from within Flows.
• Flow Triggers — trigger other Flows from within a Flow (parent/child).
• Variable Set — set the value of a variable within a Flow.
• Conditions — IF/ELSE logic based on a variable value.

Variables

Create a variable and set its value via API, Flow or the console. Use it inside announcement text with curly brackets (e.g. "hello {FIRST_NAME}") or as the input to a Condition.

Webhooks

Send HTTP requests to a unique webhook URL that triggers an action. The payload is saved to a variable so you can reference it in announcements, routine triggers or Flows.

A new website

Quicker, slicker and showing off our new branding. This will be the central location for helpful guides, tutorials and documentation.

A new plan

• Basic — our free plan is now even better.
• PRO — deprecated. Existing PRO subscribers keep their plan and now have access to Flows and basic apps.
• Premium — full access to all features for a low monthly price.
