Action

UPDATES

about 2 years ago

Now supports targeting a specific list by including “# List Name” as the first line of the draft.

Send each line of the draft to Things as a separate todo.

Defaults to creating todos in the Things Inbox. To target a specific list, use “# List Name” in the first line of the draft. The list name must match an existing list in Things, or the todos will be created in the Inbox.

Steps

script

/*
  Send each line of a draft to things as a todo
  Check first line for "#" at beginning, and use that as list name if present
*/
const lines = draft.content.split("\n")
let todos = []
let list = "Inbox"

if (lines[0].startsWith("#")) {
	let newList = lines.shift() // remove first line
	newList = newList.replaceAll("#", "") // remove "#"
	newList = newList.trim()
	list = newList
}

// loop over lines, adding non-blank lines as todos
for (line of lines) {
	let trimmedLine = line.trim() // remove whitespace
	if (trimmedLine.length == 0) { // skip blank lines
		continue
	}
	let todo = TJSTodo.create()
	todo.title = trimmedLine
	todo.list = list
	todos.push(todo)
}

if (todos.length > 0) {
	// create Things object to create URL
	const container = TJSContainer.create(todos)
	var cb = CallbackURL.create()
	cb.baseURL = container.url

	if (cb.open()) {
		console.log("Todos created in Things")
	}
	else {
		console.fail()
	}
}
else { // no todos to create
	alert("No todos found")
	context.fail()
}
