Current Microsoft To Do integration with Google Assistant
Kindly share some tutorials/examples for the IFTTT
Hi Agrimgrover
Sorry - Christmas break.
You need to sign up for IFTTT which is free, and then link your google assistant account and also your ms todo account. (FYI, I did all of that on the app, but you can also do it online.)
There is a built in app, but I didn't feel that it worked the way I wanted to exactly, so what I did was create an applet
IF : say a phrase with a text ingredient, and put in "add $ to my grocery list" (avoid shopping list as google sometimes adds it to your google shopping list).
Then under what I wanted the assistant to say back was "added $ to your grocery list"
THEN: Create task in task list
Select your list uner "which task list"
Then under task title, select the "TextField" by selecting insert ingredients.
For some reason you need a task body, so I just put in "created from Google Assistant" but you could put in anything. That will be stored as a note under you task.
Then that's it!
It takes about 20 to 60 seconds for the item to appear on your MS todo app.
Finally! Back to adding items via voice on google assistant. 😄

Hi,
Tried this too, but instead the description of the food as title, in Microsoft To-Do list I see only {{TextField}}.
Tried also to write {{TextField}} in the Task Body and there it works correctly.
Someone has the same issue?
Kind regards.

Unfortunately, this will no longer work due to https://ifttt.com/explore/google-assistant-changes

same issue - in the body my google assistant "recorded" text is stored, but not in the Title of the Task. peculiar
