Can I use Alexa reserved keywords like Start or Launch in my Utterances?

I want to tell to Alexa something like: "Alexa, tell ScrumbleChat to start" or "Alexa, launch ScrumbleChat". I have an intent ScrumberChartStart that launches specific process. Will such utterance be valid?

Hi developer,


Yes, you can use start/launch/open words in the utterances but do not include them in invocation word.
