Works great, thanks!

Works great! Thanks for this workflow!

 

Feedback on the new beta (v69)

• this command isn't working as intended: r thursday have a banana medium priority

The workflow will not set this reminder as medium priority.

 

• Additional app support request: Safari, Whatsapp, Spark (email client), Fantastical, Atom, CyberDuck, Parallels, terminal, Github desktop client, iTunes.

Hello everyone. I have a new beta version available. This has been rewritten from the ground up in JavaScript for Automation. It now requires Alfred v3+, MacOS Sierra+.
NEW: Enhanced date/time natural language parsing. Never worry about the correct syntax again!
NEW: Better messaging about what will happen when actioning the item.
FIXED: (Hopefully) improved performance.

 

However, there are still several features from the previous version that have not yet been carried across to this version. As such, this should be considered a beta version. The following are currently missing:

• Support Lists
• Support Apps
• Auto-update support
• "help" keyword
• Note created notification
• Quit reminders automatically
• Support priority

 

If you:

1. Don't mind trying this out
2. Have Alfred version 3
3. Are using macOS Sierra
4. Don't need any of the absent features

Then please feel free to give it a spin:

wow  amazing !! this fixes all my problems !  when I was back to choosing the right reminders tool among huge amount of options, i found this upgrade ! this works perfect with my alfred ! thank you  !

Hi everyone. The new version is now live, if you are using macOS 10.12 and Alfred v3, I encourage you to update. Please see the first post with download links and updated usage instructions. Refer to the changelog at the bottom for more details about the changes.

 

Thanks everyone for your feedback, and sorry it took such a long time to get this update out!

Great workflow!  

 

I would love to assign a key command to the "r this" function.  Is that possible?  I tried but only got half way. 

 

Thanks!

Not really. I will think about maybe enabling triggers on the workflow to allow for this.

However you can at least do this:

Create a new workflow like so:

In the Run NSAppleScript:

 

on alfred_script(q)
  tell application "Alfred 3" to search "r this"
end alfred_script

This will prepopulate Alfred with "r this" when you press your hotkey, so all you need to do is press enter

@paulbryanvisual There's in fact a much simpler way than the one suggested by @surrealroad in his latest post.

 

Create a hotkey, and assign it the following configuration (except for the hotkey - obviously set anything you like for that)

 

 

When you use your hotkey, Alfred will pop-up with "r this" already populated.

 

 

Hope this helps

 

Cheers,
Vero

@Vero Thanks!  That is exactly what I had done and I have been using it a lot.  I was hoping to find a way to avoid the extra step of the Alfred pop-up and hitting enter.  It would be better if the action ran immediately.  Is that possible?

If you call an Alfred element with a UI, it's going to pop up.

 

If you don't want that, you need to directly call the downstream element that does the actual work. You probably need to add an External Trigger connected to that element and call it with the appropriate arguments via AppleScript. You can trigger the AppleScript via an Alfred Hotkey.

It stopped working for me and this is what I see when I  debug

FYI the latest version (v73) now includes an external trigger. I just tested it with the "this" keyword, and it seems to work correctly:

I am using this all the time now.  I probably can't live without it. Thanks so much!  

[howdytom]

Well done! This is exactly I was looking for. I really like that you can choose a reminder list to add your todo. Great workflow!

[dvcrn]

Sorry if this has been asked already, but what's the theme in the screenshot?

It's Control Command Escape 

[zherui.zhang]

Would you please elaborate again how to set reminders in Things 3 or this workflow doesn't support Thing 3? I saw it on the screenshot, so I suppose it should work well with it. Sorry if you have already answered. Thanks again for creating such a great workflow!

This workflow appears to no longer function in Alfred 3.7 build 938/OS 10.13.6…

Hey sots, most things seem to work for me. Can you elaborate?

[OSchrock]

This workflow is exactly what I'd been looking for! The "r this" is awesome! Thank you!

[MrSlash]

Awesome Workflow. Any chance this might be integrated with the new Google Calendar or iCal? It'd be awesome being able to create calendar events too.

Here's a similar workflow for calendar events. https://github.com/rtoshiro/alfred-workflows-addcalendarevent

Hello!

 

Do you think it would be possible to add reccuring tasks support? I use them a lot and i would veery much appreciate it

 

thanks in advance.

[wolf]

thanks! although this script is several years old, i do see it works on mojave 10.14!

getting a few errors though!

is the code up to date for the latest macOS?

[craigbehr]

I love this WF, was working on something similar until I found this.

 

 

Was trying to make a customer hotkey to automatically send a link to a specific reminder list.

 

I duplicated the WF and tried to hardcode the list but it seems like this doesn't like the new list names that are in groups in reminders.

 

 

Ultimately would like to hit a hot key, enter a few words, and have the url goto a specific reminder list.

 

 

Excellent work here!

Wow, great workflow with JS Applescript!
