Todoist Quick Add V3 - With Notes, Reminders, and default projectVersion 3 of my Todoist Quick Add API Action.
Because the Quick Add API is used tasks can be added to specific projects and with specific due dates/times e.g.:
Buy beer tomorrow 1pm #Party p1
Call Pete #Work friday 3pm
You can also add notes and reminders. These should be added using the following parameters, after the main task text:
--note : Allows a note to be included
--reminder : Allows a reminder time to be included
Because “--” is used to indicate the options it cannot be used as part of any regular text.
Each task can include either or both as required e.g.:
Call Fred tomorrow 9pm
Call Joe Wednesday 4pm --note This is a note
Call Pete Thursday 3pm --reminder Thursday 2:30pm
Call Sue Friday 6pm --note Add a note --reminder Friday 5:45pm
Call Helen Saturday 2pm --reminder Saturday 1pm --note One more note
It is also possible to set a default project that will be used for subsequent tasks. Set the default project by putting #projectname at the beginning of a new line. Examples:
Write letter to Santa 1st December <- This will go to the inbox
Delete Facebook #personal tomorrow <- This will go into personal
#work <- This sets the default project to work
File Expenses friday 9am <- WIll be added to work
Clean Shoes #personal <- Will ignore default and go to personal
Organise planning meeting <- Added to work
#holiday <- Sets new default project
Book flights <- Added to holiday
Buy suitcase <- Added to holiday
Note: Unlike the Quick Add entries in the Todoist App, the quick add API doesn’t work with multi word project names. It also doesn’t automatically add new projects.
