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'm not saying that you have to narrow it down to 2 lists. I created over 15 lists using Wunderlist and these apparently hand been transported over to MS TODO when I made my initial conversion from Wunderlist. Since I added the updated skill "Tasks in hand" all of these list names were created automatically in Alexa groups of lists although they appear empty in Alexa. I can however add or delete to and from the MSTD lists from Alexa now.
If I want a new list I tell Alexa to add something to that new list and if doesn't exist she tells me and asks if I want to create it.
It is not perfect as I would have liked to have all my items imported back into Alexa's lists. I'm retired now and don't have the brainpower to rewrite these things myself like I used to.
I notice a slight delay in adding between the lists which on my desktop I can improve by a keyboard shortcut to refresh the list.

Yeah, we've pretty much given up on it all. We'll just use the Amazon list natively. I am retired myself, so my To Do list is one of those e-ink type magnetic boards on the fridge! lol.
- Yesterday, I switched from ToDo to AnyList, and it seems to sync with Alexa VERY WELL. I looked at all the list apps with native Alexa integration, and this one seems to be the best.
- Thanks for the tip....installing now.
We were facing the same issue. Alexa Shopping List not syncing with ToDo via the skill Tasks in The Hand.
I had to deactivate the skill and activate it again and then it started working again. All new items are being synced again.
I‘m not sure when it stopped and why. It could be somehow related that I started using O365 Business next to my M365 Family subscription. Just guessing, no evidence.
Cheers.
