Echo2Trello

[b]Description:[/b] Echo2Trello is a simple integration born from my wife's desire to give me chores to do, and to have them appear in the Trello board we share for such things. For example, she wanted to yell at me, "Brenton, you need to take out the trash". And with Alexa sitting in our living room, a solution became apparent. Echo2Trello is a simple python based integration that polls the Echo "Todo" and "Shopping" lists for new items and adds moves them to the Trello board/list of your choice. I'd love to make this better and more useful, so definitely feel free to send pull requests or reach out on twitter (@_brentonc) if you have ideas or need help or want to add something. Right now it just runs on a Raspberry Pi in my house. Also, Amazon and ifttt have since created a similar capability if you have an ifttt account.

I should note - the first order of business is probably to update this to be based on the Alexa AppKit!

Hi Brenton, Just curious, was/is there a reason you're using Trello vs. the App's built in To-Do and Shopping lists?

Totally valid. Like I said, was just curious.

:) That was just my guess. I can't speak for the original poster.

Now that IFTTT integration is built-in, can you just use that to connect the two? Probably don't need an app anymore, right?

The IFTTT functionality that's built in is pretty heavily tied to the Shopping List and To-Do List functions. For more general use, however, it's now possible to use Alexa Skills "Intents" in combination with POST requests to the IFTTT "Maker" Channel to rapidly prototype custom skills. I've created a basic Lambda that takes an Intent and up to 3 slots and passes them over to IFTTT for use as inputs. It's available at https://github.com/mefogle/AtoIFTTT if you'd like to take a look.
