IFTTT seems to use "Login with Amazon" to access either a) Alexa events or b) Alexa history. How is this possible?
Is there a special permission configuration step when setting up "Login with Amazon"? Or is there a special parameter to supply when triggering the login page?

Login page says:

- Your name: XYZYour e-mail address: xyz@example.com
- Access to your Alexa information (like To-do lists) to trigger recipes you create.
- Permission to publish information to, and write and modify information on, Alexa in order to execute recipes you create.
This is the login screen:
