I have a number of emails that I need to get into Omnifocus, with extra stuff like a reasonable title and a due date.
For instance, like David talked about on the most recent MPU, a client will email me something. I need to do it today, but not now. There’s relevant project info in the email, which may or may not be scattered throughout - so just dumping it in my OF inbox with a due date & reminder would be a great solution.
The challenge is, the OF mail drop doesn’t support adding dates. So I’m thinking something with AppleScript might work?
Can anybody point me in a useful direction for this?
I have Keyboard Maestro available if that helps, so getting hotkeys and basic automation isn’t a challenge. It’s just more of a “how” at this point.
Thanks @joebuhlig & @JKoopmans! I have it tested and working with email forwards. I didn’t realize that OmniFocus had the parsing language largely built-in, and that all that was needed was some cron-type code to auto-trigger a loop over the Inbox.
The Python auto-install script was particularly appreciated - even though it’s not hard to do without it.
Now I’m working on a Keyboard Maestro script to make a pop-up and trigger the forward, so I don’t have to keep remembering the syntax.
