Current Microsoft To Do integration with Google Assistant
Hello folks,
I've been trying to research on the net how to integrate Microsoft Todo with the voice activation component of Google assistant.
There is a article called "Using Ok Google with Microsoft To Do"
But it would seem that in more recent times that this is no longer the case based on other feedback on the net.
If this is still the case is there a better explanation as pawing at the phone screen does not suggest there are any options to change this with.
Kind Regards
- So whole thing is currently dead right? No real good assistant support whatsoever?
I've found a workaround.
Unfortunately it requires a Samsung phone.
First step is to activate synchronization between Samsung "reminder" app and Microsoft todo.
Then, define the "tasks" to-do folder as default.
Finally, using Bixby, you can use voice commands to create events which are automatically stored in to-do.
- Great contribution with (Feb 2022) over 5000 views. Let's make this a feature request and let's get Microsoft to work on integration in an upcoming release.
The APIs are there to allow Google Assistant to both add tasks, read back tasks, and perhaps include in a routine (bedtime: add tasks for tomorrow, morning: read My Day tasks). Link removed
- This link is no longer valid
- Correct.
IFTTT now works with To Do, so problem solved.
- Unfortunately it appears that this never really worked, at least for the past few years.
There is possibly a way to do it using Zappier, but really MS should just allow integration with either IFTTT (just like Wunderlist) or google assistant directly.
