Adding a Command

Click the Add Command button to add a new command. An new empty command row will appear.

In the Command Type dropdown, select the Command Type.  Echo supports two types of commands:

In the Description field, enter a short description for the command. This does not need to match the spoken phrase used to perform the command.

In the Spoken Phrase field, enter the spoken phrase that will be used to perform the command. The best Spoken Phrases are two or three words. The Spoken Phrase must be spoken as its own distinct command, so it is possible to use words that might appear together in natural speech.

 

In the event that a command is set to use the same spoken phrase as an existing command, a team command will take precedence over a global command, and a user's personal command will take precedence over a team or global command.

 

Click the Edit Shortcuts or Edit Snippet button to create the shortcut to be performed, or snippet to be inserted, when the command phrase is spoken.

Click the tick button to complete creating the command.

Click the Submit button to save the changes.
