This automation scenario allows you to connect Amazon Alexa and Todoist
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts 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.

Set up a Trigger action for Amazon Alexa
Choose the following trigger: Item added to your Shopping List (This Trigger fires every time you add an item to your Shopping List.).
Then set up an Action for Todoist
Choose this action: Create task (This Action will create a new task in the project and section you specify.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
