I’m wondering if there’s anyway to use the JS in Omnifocus to flag tasks automatically. Here’s the use case:
I get an important email and forward it to the omnifocus inbox
Omnifocus receives it and auto-flag’s the item based on some criterion (e.g., two exclamation points at the end of the subject/task line—like “Review project for Jim!!”
Can I get Omnifocus to auto-flag that item in my inbox and then remove the two exclamation points so the title looks cleaner?
Thanks, @JKoopmans! This is a good start. I was thinking JS may be the best solution because any device could run it—iPad, iPhone, and Mac. But I think having my Mac parse things would work 80% of the time. So thanks again. Good start. If anyone else knows how to do the same thing in JS, that’d be great. Thanks!
I have my mac parse the inbox every hour (through Keyboard Maestro)
That’s about all I need, I review all items once a day in the morning anyway, and urgent items I put in OF manually to be sure they are in the right place.
