Send Markdown To-dos to Todoist

script

// Create a to-do in Todoist for each found Markdown style to-do in the draft with a permalink back to the draft.

// You can also include Todoist context options like #project, @tags, due dates, priority, and reminders.
// All context options must be at the end of the line and after ‘//‘ (e.g. - [ ] task name // #project @tag 1pm p1).

// The Todoist tag @drafts is automatically added to all created to-dos for easier tracking in Todoist.

// Sample To-dos:
// - [ ] Update website header // #WEB mon 1pm
// - [ ] Reorder retail bags // #STORE @buy
// - [ ] Biz dev metting review // #MGMT p1 in 30 days

// split all lines of draft
let lines = draft.content.split("\n");
// create a Todoist object
let todoist = Todoist.create();
// Create error counter
let ctErrors = 0;
// Iterate over all lines in draft
for (let line of lines) {
	// If line containts Markdown to-do continue
	if (line.startsWith("- [ ]")) {
		// If line contains Todoist context options (e.g. - [ ] task name // #project @tag 1pm) capture them
		if (line.includes("//")) {
			// Create an array of the split line
			let arr = line.split("//");
			console.log(arr);
			// Set the title of the to-do from the first item of arr
			let title = arr[0].trim();
			// Set the context options of the to-do from the second item of arr
			let context = arr[1].trim();
			// Setup the task creation text in Todoist shorthand format
			var todo = "[" + title.replace("- [ ]", "").trim() + "](" + draft.permalink + ")  @drafts " + context;
		}
		// If line didn't contain '//' then just add the to-do title and draft permalink
		else {
			// Setup the to-do creation text in Todoist shorthand format less the context options
			var todo = "[" + line.replace("- [ ]", "").trim() + "](" + draft.permalink + ") @drafts";
