Create a calendar event at next available time

[fabian.zetterberg]

Hi!

 

I'm new to Alfred and thought I might just ask the forum for a workflow. In time, I'll contribute with my knowledge, but I'm not there yet

 

Is it possible to start Alfred, type a keyword (e.g. cal), type "send report to my boss, (duration h/m) 0:15", hit enter and add that event at next available time in Calendar?

 

Looking forward getting to know Alfred!

 

 

Cheers,

Fabian

For a lot of workflows you should check out http://packal.org

There you'll find a lot. For your case you can take a look at this one here: http://www.packal.org/workflow/add-calendar-event

 

If you're using fantastical 2 then you can find there some too, or i can change mine which i made for reminders etc. which is Alfred 3 exclusive. Fantastical would be better in the case of using natural language tho. You can test it here for 21 days.

 

Hope that helps.

Just saw that you wanted it to be added at next available time, which isn't as easy as you might think. I know that google calendar started such an approach, but you have to consider all calendars you might use(from others, work, privat etc.).

But what do you mean exactly by that? As you wrote 0:15 does it mean in 15 minutes or that it takes you 15 minutes?

Thanks for your answer!

What I meant was that it'll take 15 minutes. I want to add it at the next available time, therefore, I don't need to tell when to do it. If it's possible

 

I will for sure look into your suggestions. Thanks!
