Action
Add to List
UPDATES
about 1 year ago
Added support for adding multiple items (one per line)
Append text of current draft to running lists in Drafts.
Prompt user to select a category, and append the text of the draft to a list in a draft tagged “lists”, with a header for the category. Intended as an example of how to maintain lists of ideas, movies you want to remember, etc.
To modify available categories, edit the “Define Template Tag” step, listing one category per line. The action ships with “Books”, “Movies”, “TV Shows”, and “Blog Ideas” as the default available categories.
Example Use
- Type “Godfather” in a draft
- Tap “Add to List”, select “Movies” as category in the prompt.
- Assuming this is the first time to select “Movies”, a draft with the tag “lists” will be created, with the following text:
## Movies
- [ ] Godfather
- Type “Jaws” n a new draft, tap “Add to list”, select “Movies”, the existing draft will be updated to:
## Movies
- [ ] Godfather
- [ ] Jaws
These list can then be found by filtering the draft list by the tag “list”. Create a Workspace for “lists” with a tag filter to easily access lists. You can install a Workspace configured for use with this action from the Directory.
