Alexa goes through all steps, but when it comes time add task to my Any.do list it says "oops, I ran into a problem"

Hi @PCB 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community!

I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your Zap.

Before we dig deeper into this, could you send screenshots of how you’ve configured the steps of the Zap so far? That’ll help me make sure I give you the best suggestion possible.

(If there’s any personal information, kindly blur them.)

Looking forward to your response!

Here are the images. 1) please note that one of them shows that a test zap works, and indeed it does as it is in my task list in any.do. 2) Any.do has tested this and also gets a successful test but the same message when they try to do a zap, “oops, I ran into a problem.”

Hey there, @PCB - thanks for sharing those screenshots! 

Do your mind testing something out for me, real quick? Can you try changing the prompt to something else? 

It’s possible you may be running into a known Alexa bug but want to see if this helps at all first. 🤞🏽Thanks for your help in this!

Changed prompt for the 4th time. Still getting error. 

I also have this issue adding an answer to an Alexa prompt I have set up to a new row in a Google Sheets doc. The test works fine, but actually adding from the prompt answer does not work, and I get the same “we ran into an error” response from Alexa mentioned in OP’s issue.

Same problem trying to add a task to Zoho Projects from Alexa via Zapier. Everything works until I give the task name when prompted, then I get the “oops, I’ve ran into a problem” every time.

I’m having the same problem when adding a task to Wealthbox from Alexa via Zapier.  Test is successful, but when I ask Alexa to create a task, she understands and then asks the prompt question for the task name.  Then after I answer with the task name, she replies, “oops, I ran into a problem”.

Ah, thanks for letting us know @athhwm! I’ve added you to that report and we’ll let you know once a fix is in place.
