What phrases are people using when adding tasks via Google assistant to IFTTT to MLO cloud

[devan]

My current phrase is:

"Ok Google, add my life organized task ..."

It's too wordy but anything shorter starts using reserved words and breaks the functionality.  

Anyone using anything better?

Thanks,

Devan

[Jeff Smith]

I would like to try, "OK Google, add mellow task"

because it could be short for MLO

I'd love to set this up, but I'm not seeing MLO Cloud as an "action service" option in IFTTT. Am I missing something?

[devan]

I have it set up in ifttt to send an email to my mlo-cloud email associated with my data.  If you need more details, I can look up the IFTTT widgets.

I tried finding the widget but the newer interface is hard to use and had no luck. It's been a while since I've visited IFTT but I remember it being way easier to use than this.

[Jack Kelley]

If you'd be able to check the IFTTT widgets, that would be incredibly helpful! Thank you

From the home page of IFTTT:

I clicked on my icon in the upper right hand side and select "Create"

Click the plus sign (white plus, black background" in the phrase if +this then that.

Search or click on Google assistant

Click "Say a phrase with a text ingredient"

Fill in your desired trigger and response.

Then click create trigger.

Now click the plus sign preceding "that"

Search for email.

Click on send me an email.

at this point, it gets a little less intuitive:

Under my services, then email, then settings, enter your MLO cloud email address as account info.  You will have to send a PIN to that address and confirm it at IFTTT.  It will show up as a task in your inbox.

Once email is set up, you can add that to the applet you created to link the trigger and the event.

Good luck, it took me a while but when it works, it's a game changer.

Thanks, I've got it working. After trying a bunch of different phrases, and running into a bunch of reserved words ("item", "task", etc.) I decided to pick something short, distinctive, and easy to say. So, when I want a task added to MLO I say "Zap $" where $ is the TextField containing the task

[Devan Bhagat]

I like it, I may be using Zap starting today.
