GoToMeeting Tools

GoToMeetingTools

This is an Alfred 3 workflow meant to assist in managing GoToMeeting lines. Each phonebook entry is a valid GoToMeeting line number and a descriptor or name.

General installation

• You'll need Alfred 3 installed with the PowerPack: http://www.alfredapp.com
• You'll need Python (which you should already have)
• You'll also need to install the requests module for some functionality (converting gotomeeting urls into meeting numbers): http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/
• Download the latest GoToMeeting Tools.alfredworkflow from the GitHub releases page at https://github.com/plongitudes/GoToMeetingTools/releases
• Double click the .alfredworkflow file to install it

Usage Summary

• go add <descriptor> <goto line # | http://gotomeet.me/customurl>
• go join <search pattern>
• go update <search pattern>
• go delete <search pattern>
• go share <search pattern
• go backup
• go restore
• go import <filename>

Usage Details

• go add: is how you create new phonebook entries. The descriptor can be any combination of letters, numbers, and the following special characters: _, ., (, ), and . Any other characters will be stripped.
  • go add <description> <gotomeeting line number>: line number here should be in the form of 111222333 or 111-222-333.
  • go add <description> <gotomeeting url>: urls like http://gotomeet.me/customurl or gotomeet.me/customurl will be converted into a line number and added to the phonebook.
• go join: is the method for launching a gotomeeting line. You can start searching on name or number, whichever you remember best
• go update: lets you modify any entry's phone number. The order of operations is:
  • type go update and start searching for the entry you want to modify. Once you have the right one, select it and hit enter.
  • The Alfred field will update with the entry name and look something like go update Weekly Stand-up.
  • Add the 9-digit GoToMeeting line number that you wish to be the new number for that entry.
  • Once the number is completely entered, the correct entry will appear in the list. Select it and hit enter; the entry will be modified accordingly.
• go delete: start typing to search for the entry you want to delete. Once it appears, select it and hit enter; that entry will be removed from the phonebook.
• go share <search pattern>: Share a meeting URL. This is in the form of Join my GotoMeeting: https://global.gotomeeting.com/host/111222333, and is both copied to the clipboard and pasted into the foreground window. The pasting behavior can be altered in the "Copy to Clipboard" node in the workflow.
• go backup: create a backup in the user's home directory (~/.gotoPhonebook) of the internal cpickle datastore that is human readable. This is essentially a comma-separated csv that can be modified. This can also be used as a format guide for a valid go import action.
• go restore: overwrite the internal datastore with the contents of the backup in ~/.gotoPhonebook.
• go import: import a file that replaces the current phonebook, or creates one if the user has no phonebook yet. The file must be a comma-separated csv in the form of "123456789","Useful description goes here".

TODO

• handle webinars
• Allow renaming of entries in addition to modifying line numbers
• better error messaging to the user for bad urls vs no url supplied

Release Notes

• 1.2.7: Patched a bug with osascript in OSX 10.12.5 - See https://bugs.python.org/issue30392
• 1.2.6: moving to Alfred-Workflow 1.26
• 1.2.5: fixing 100% cpu bug
  • See https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-workflow/issues/111 for details. GoToMeeting Tools workflow uses alfred-workflow 1.25 now, which fixes the issue (hang on autoupdate check)
• 1.2.4: requiring 'requests' module
  • Gotomeeting requires the 'requests' python module in order to turn gotomeeting urls into line numbers. Please pip install requests or easy_install requests to add this module to your system.
• 1.2.3: Fixing ICON calls (autoupdate should be working now)
  • ICON calls were written incorrectly, which was breaking a lot of things
  • autoupdate feature should now be working
• 1.2.0: Turn a gotomeet.me url into a phonebook entry
  • Added: New entry adding functionality, url instead of line number: go add <description> <http://gotomeet.me/customname> will now fetch a meeting number and turn it into a phonebook entry.
• 1.1.2: Sharing is Caring (and reading is fun)
  • Added: ability to share a gotomeeting url from alfred.
  • Added: the full phonebook is now listed by default if the query is empty.
• 1.1.0: Backup/restore, plus joining lines without an entry
  • Added ability to backup the phonebook from internal cpickle format
  • Added ability to restore from said backup
  • Added ability to (destructively) import a comma-separated csv in the form of "line","description" for new users.
  • Added ability to join a line if you have no current entry for that line: go join 123456789 will be a selectable menu item once the line number entered is deemed valid (9-digit line)
  • Lastly, externalized some sanitization functions to keep code more lean.
• 1.0.3: Fixed issue with "update" not working
  • The update action was clobbering the wrong entry on update, this is now fixed.
• 1.0.2: allow numbers with dashes
  • Added better line number handling for gotomeeting lines (usually they're displayed as xxx-xxx-xxx, this is now handled correctly)
• 1.0.1
