I’m aware that DT comes with pre-installed scripts to use with OmniFocus (OF), but this feature is not what I am looking for.
What I would like to do is to have a smart rule search for notes tagged ‘review’ and then for that file’s name and URL to be passed to OF so I can review that file later. It’s basically a version of the Evernote2Omnifocus script, but obviously with DT instead of Evernote.
I’ve tried my own scripting, based on the scripts mentioned at the top, and searching for something like this on the forums, but can’t find anything. The error I’m currently getting using my script is “Error1708”. Can anyone help?
Thanks for getting back to me Pete31, my apologies for not responding sooner. I’ve managed to work out how to do this through a bit of trial and error, and I thought for completeness I would post the script below. I’m sure it’s not well written (I am far from a coder; this is the first AppleScript I’ve pulled together) so any feedback is more than welcome.
