我可以将Google Assistant消息发送到Windows应用程序，但是如何发回消息？

Question

I'm using IFTTT to send a Google Assistant message to my Windows application via Drop Box. If I say "[keyword] [message]" (for example: "Computer: Play Game of Thrones Season 2 Episode 4") IFTTT will write the text translation of [message] to a file on drop box that my application monitors and from there I can read the [message] and act on it.

What I would like to be able to do is send a reply back to the device that sent the message... For example if I tell my phone to have my computer start a movie on my computer and for whatever reason my app can't find the movie I want to be able to communicate that back to the device that originally sent the message, whether that be my cell phone or tablet or Google Home smart speaker.

I know there is probably no official way to do this but i'm looking for creative solutions (like the one I use to get the message in the first place)... anything at all that works even if it involves multiple third-party services.

There's no good way to send back an acknowledgement through the IFTTT integration. You'd need to build your own Action which would use something like push notifications to communicate between your local device and a cloud-based webhook.
