Drafts Directory: Tasks2Things

Action

Posted by @andreaslezgus, Last update over 4 years ago

Send all marked Task in a draft to Things
Put a backward link in all Things Tasks
Mark every draft Tasks as completed
Archive the draft

Use case:
Daily or weekly shutdown routine as a mind sweep in drafts to write down all stuff thats in your head. Mark those things as tasks, you will operate later on in your task manager.

// Call API for each line in a draft
// split draft and loop over lines
