Hi,
I want to set a reminder in the reminder app via a smart rule. Is this possible?

Only by executing a script in the rule which adds the reminder.
Hi.
That’s what I did. But it doesn’t work. This is my test script:
on performSmartRule(theRecords)
tell application id "DNtp"
set due_date to current date
set due_date to due_date + 3600 * 48
repeat with theRecord in theRecords
tell theRecord to make new reminder with properties {schedule:once, alarm:notification, due date:due_date}
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Reminders"
activate
make reminder with properties {name:"Test", remind me date:current date, body:"Hallo"}
end tell
end performSmartRule
I tested different things like "tell application “Reminders” in the repeat function. But this doesn’t work.
Each application uses a different syntax. Maybe this is helpful: https://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=39312
Syntax works fine if I run script in DT at the Script menu. So I guess there is an issue running the syntax in a smart rule. Are there any restrictions?
Did you really use exactly the above script in the Scripts menu? Because this shouldn’t work at all.
In addition, unless you want a reminder in DEVONthink too the tell application id "DNtp"
block is actually unnecessary.
No, just the syntax where I call Reminders App. Only this part.
And how does the smart rule look like? You can e.g. test its actions by dropping items onto it.
This is the smart rule:
What I found out now is:
This script works: But just comment out the first syntax. It seems I couldn’t have two tell-Commands. But this should work.
on performSmartRule(theRecords)
(*tell application id "DNtp"
set due_date to current date
set due_date to due_date + 3600 * 48
repeat with theRecord in theRecords
tell theRecord to make new reminder with properties {schedule:once, alarm:notification, due date:due_date}
set dok to reference URL as string
end repeat
-- set titel to name
end tell*)
tell application "Reminders"
activate
make reminder with properties {name:"Rechnung Offen", remind me date:current date, body:"Test"}
end tell
end performSmartRule
The scripts are cached while DEVONthink is running to improve the smart rule performance.
This line causes an error and stops the script:
set dok to reference URL as string
This should probably look like this:
set dok to reference URL of theRecord as string
That’s it! Great. Good start. Just beginner in Apple Script so I made this error. Thank you very much. Best app support ever.
Best regards.
