Enter tasks using google assistant

[devan]

This topic has been asked a few times but I couldn't find a current solution.

I would like to ask my google device to enter a task destined to my MLO inbox.

On my android 9 phone, the MLO widget works well but I'd like something I could use hands free.

Any suggestions?  I am pondering the use of IFTTT to create an applet to send my task to my mlo email address but I have not programmed anything in a very long time.

Thanks

I found an solution which works fairly well.

Within IFTTT, you can use the applet "Google Home Create wunderlist item"

It allows you to create a text phrase that will send an email to wherever you'd like.  I use MLO cloud so I send the tasks to privat...@sync.mylifeorganized.net.

"ok google, add buy Delorean to inbox"

Response: Added buy Delorean to Wunderlist.

In a few minutes, and a cloud sync, it shows up in my MLO inbox.

You can also try a combination of Google Assistant, AutoVoice, Tasker and AutoShortcut to control MLO directly on the device (this would also work if you don't have a MLO cloud subscription).

* You need to set up AutoVoice with Google Assistant (there is a video in the AutoVoice app showing how to do this).

* Then you can create a Routine in Google Assistant, something like "add a task" which you set up to "ask AutoVoice to add a task"

* Then in Tasker you create a new workflow on event "AutoVoice Recognized" with keyword "add a task".

* In the task itself you use AutoShortcut, select the MLO shortcut and select "Add Task by Voice". 

Then you can do "hey google, add a task", it opens up MLO and activates voice recognition and you can dictate your task content. Then just tap the create button.

It's not a 100% hands free, but works without any third party stuff like ifttt and an MLO sync. Maybe it can be extended with AutoInput to do the final button tap for you, I'm still trying to figure this out.
