The sync no longer works. Amsn 0.98.9. I disabled and reenabled the skill in the Amazon Alexa app but adding an item to my shopping list via Echo does not show up on Todoist.

Todoist has announced that is is now integrated with Alexa. The new integration will enable Alexa to help you add and remember your Todoist tasks from any room in your house without you having to reach for your phone.

To Do List Alexa

Alexa, as you may know, is the smart voice service that powers Amazon’s hands-free voice-controlled Echo and Echo Dot devices. It does not appear that Todoist has any plans to integrate with Siri or Cortana. There is potential that this could change in the future.

It is now possible to tell Alexia to add tasks to your to-do list. Todoist gives an example. Say something like “Alexa, add pick up the kids to my to-do list”. That task will be automatically added to your Todoist inbox with today’s due date. You can also have Alexa add reoccurring tasks to your to-do list. Those tasks will automatically appear on your to-do list each month.

You can tell Alexa what items to add to your shopping list, and those items will automatically appear on a shopping list in Todoist. Another thing you can do is say: “Alexa, what’s on my to-do list?” Alexa will respond by telling you what tasks are on your to-do list.

Todoist says that the first thing you need to do is to enable Todoist in the Alexa app available on iOS, Android, and Fire tablets. Next, link your Todoist account. Your Alexa To-do and Shopping lists will be automatically synced with your Todoist.

I love to be organized and to use tools to plan out my day, week, life. Every morning the first thing I do when I sit at my desk is bring out my ToDo list and plan out what is on my day.

What ToDo (Toe Doe)

Adobe premiere elements video examples. I have used several planner like tools out there, Outlook Tasks, ToDoist, Wunderland and Microsoft ToDo but after several years of use and playing around I have settled on Microsoft ToDo. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as some of the others but it gives me everything I need, its free, I can share lists, and it allows me to manage and plan those tasks.

Integrate with Alexa

Todoist And Alexa

Several of these apps are integrated with Amazon Alexa which adds the benefit of being able to speak my list and they automatically get added to my app. I had used this functionality with ToDoist and Alexa’s shopping list. This allowed us to call out to Alexa to add stuff to our shopping list and then when we went shopping we had the list on our phones. Unfortunately MS ToDo does not have that capability embedded so I needed to add it myself.

There are several ways of doing this. I can write an Amazon Alexa skill application to integrate with the shopping list and MS ToDo, but I really don’t have the time right now to spend trying to get my head around Microsoft API (convoluted) and security. The alternative is to use some work flow orchestration tool. I have used several in the past for some other functions so I thought why not apply it here.

What did I use?

To be honest it is not one step and your done and really it is a work flow that only a hardened developer like myself would do. It works and it is keeps me from having to change my ToDo. I use IFTTT, Microsoft Flow, Gmail, and of course Alexa.
