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

This is all really frustrating, I can't get the task in hand integration to work consistently, so when I do anything I need to look at todo and Alexa lists in the app. Has anyone tried a completely new ecosystem like any.do? I don't want to leave Microsoft To Do, its so good in it's simplicity, however, I also don't want to check two apps the whole time!

Same here, tasks in hand worked for about a day for me. I’ve currently got IFTTT checking Alexa and adding to an IOS reminders list. But that is only one way so never removes things from the Alexa list. I’ve looked at any.do but it seems you need to pay for a useful version. I’d just like Microsoft to write a skill for Alexa.
- silverdrgiApr 13, 2021Copper ContributorI'm not sure why but the skill continues to work for me. I can add and remove from MS to do the shopping and to-do list.
When I began, I made sure my Alexa app was current. I disabled the work on hand skill and re-enabled it.
I also exited and signed in again to MS todo (I have a personal account)
Sometimes the removal from the list was slow but I think that was because Alexa misunderstood what I was saying.
If you did all that and its still not working I don't know why.- mallanbellApr 14, 2021Brass Contributorsilverdgi, same here. I followed your recommendations and Tasks in the Hand continues to work. I also have a personal MS account and logged out and back in.
