Alexa and To Do not syncing

We use the Alexa shopping list and sync it to MS To Do. It has been working great, but just stopped. Looking for the the Wonder Do It skill seems to be 'gone'?  Anybody else do this? Having problems...

    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.

    grrrrr......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.

    Thanks 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.

      OK, 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.

        mallanbell thanks.

         

        I got it working in mine as well but is does not work was "Wonder Do It" did.

         

        Previously I was able to create lists in Alexa, with the same name as the ones in Microsoft todo, and they would all sync fine.

         

        "Tasks in Hand" only syncs the Alexa out of the box lists:

        • To-Do: syncs todo to Microsoft's default todo list
        • Shopping: creates a new list in Microsoft todo as ":shopping_cart:Alexa shopping list" and syncs to it.

        This does not work for me, 😢. I'll submit a request to improve the skill

         

        This is the direct link to the skill: https://skills-store.amazon.com/deeplink/dp/B07NK766W7?deviceType=app&share&refSuffix=ss_copy

         

        Would love if Microsoft supported this OTB with their own skill...
