This automation scenario allows you to connect Amazon Alexa and Google Tasks
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Amazon Alexa and Google Tasks can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Amazon Alexa
This Trigger fires every time you add an item to your Shopping List.

This action will add a task to the given task list.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to If Item added to your Shopping List, then add a task to a given list in Tasks.

Then set up an Action for Google Tasks
Choose this action: Add task to a list (This action will add a task to the given task list.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Amazon Alexa and Google Tasks.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will If Item added to your Shopping List, then add a task to a given list in Tasks!
