I want to improve getting @waiting items into Toodledo but don't have the script chops to do it myself. As a consequence I've put a posting on Freelancer.com:
http://www.freelancer.com/projects/Visual-Basic/Visual-Basic-Script-for-Outlook.html Here's the gist of the posting: I use Toodledo, a web-based to do list. I would like someone to create an Outlook visual basic script to help me use it better. Basically, Toodledo allows input via email, using a customized address @toodledo.com. I would like to send emails that need follow up to the recipients, and then a slightly customized, more descriptive version to Toodledo. As of now I send many emails that I would like to go in my Toodledo @waiting folder (or context). Sending it to my Toodledo bcc address loses valuable info: 1) It’s not clear who the recipient is 2) The title sometimes includes the wrong description 3) It’s not filed into @waiting I would like a visual basic script that will send more descriptive @waiting items from Outlook to Toodledo. The item in Toodledo should contain the date, who the email was sent to, and an optional descriptive title. Here’s a potential script workflow: 1) script triggered by a keyboard shortcut 2) email to recipient sent 3) Outlook presents an input box with two text fields a. The first for descriptive title containing as a default the email's subject line b. The second is blank for the folder 4) Outlook sends an email to Toodledo email with the following info a. In the subject line: Name of recipient -- descriptive title or default subject line (day/month of email), @waiting and, if applicable, the folder i. Example: John Smith—website redesign (12/31) @waiting *website b. body should contain full email, including all recipients and original subject line The full Toodledo email syntax can be found here, but the relevant parts are as follows: • context = @ + context. For this it is @waiting • folder = *+folder. For example, *website This message was edited Dec 20, 2011. |
