Alexa and To Do not syncing
- Apr 02, 2021
I just noticed I have the same issue. I was using the Wonder Do It skill. I found somewhere online that the I you can download the skill called Tasks in Hand instead. I tried this but it’s not working, I think because I have an office 365 business account and not a personal account. Let me know if any of you make any headway
I have the same problem. Not sure when it started but noticed today that things I've asked Alexa to add to my shopping list and to my ToDo list have not appeared in Microsoft ToDo - they are in the equivalent Alexa only lists. And the Wonder Do It skill seems to have disappeared. That's incredibly annoying particularly as I got no notification.

Really a pitty. Same story on my side. I've used the sync between my shared shopping list on MS ToDo with Wonder Do It and Alexa. It worked fine until two weeks ago.Wonder Do It seem to be an open source project, hosted on GitHub (https://github.com/jenzb/WonderDoIt). A post morten PPTX explains the development of the skill and why the developer stopped this project (no time and the need to re-code to Microsoft Graph API).

Gotcha, thanks for the deeper dive.
The skill Tasks in the Hand is working for us. It is a bit different from the Wonder Do It skill, but is working.I am no coder/scripter....just an old retired IT Ops guy. We came over from Wunderlist when MS bought them, and have been happy with MS To Do, but this sort of integration is what makes these gadgets shine. I hope someone with the right chops picks this up!-Mike- patrickb78Apr 05, 2021Copper Contributor
unfortunately Tasks in the Hand is not available in Germany. For now I will stick to the oob shopping list in Alexa. Not great (no widget and very rudimental), but still better than nothing.
- SoBeDudeApr 05, 2021Copper ContributorSame issue. My Wonder To Do disappeared in My Skills. Tasks in the Hand is not available either (I’m in the US). It was the skill I used the most. I can’t believe this. It’s so infuriating. Any help us gladly appreciated.
- jlavosApr 05, 2021Copper ContributorYes, I used it daily, against a few lists, :(.... Microsoft, any help you can provide on this?

- mallanbellApr 07, 2021Brass Contributorgrrrrr......this has stopped working. The developer did say he had/has to re-register due to a change with Cortana? I will see if disabling/re-enabling helps.
- mallanbellApr 02, 2021Brass ContributorThanks for this! I enabled this skill, but had to search way down my list, and it is called Alexa Shopping (with a shopping cart). Items went over, so we are getting closer!
Scroll down to the end of your lists (I have about 60 (I kinda do a 43 folders thing)). I'll post more as I get closer; wonder where Wonder went?!
Thanks again for finding this skill, I really appreciate it.- mallanbellApr 02, 2021Brass ContributorOK, I believe I have it all working!
I was able to send an 'invitation link' to share it with my girlfriend (it is our shopping list), she accepted and immediately saw items in the list....she added/deleted and I saw them on my phone almost immediately. Took a bit longer on my To Do/Mac+Big Sur.
One thing I noticed is that Alexa does not repeat the item to say she added it like she did before.
