ahockley Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) I've created a workflow (with three actions) for creating new OmniFocus tasks. One option simply creates a new task in the inbox based on the argument supplied Another option creates a new task based on the currently-focused Google Chrome tab (the page title becomes the task name; the page URL becomes the note) The third option creates a new task based on the currently-focused Safari tab (the page title becomes the task name; the page URL becomes the note) Read a bit more on my blog, or download the workflow with this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlx4uyfc905iyc2/CreateOmniFocusTasks.alfredworkflow Edited March 16, 2013 by ahockley lixiaoyao and drking 2 Link to comment
gattaca Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for this! I found this on Twitter before I found it here and have been using it. One suggestion: is it possible to just launch the OF quick entry pane without putting the full app into focus? That way if a task comes to mind while you're working on something else, you just want to record it and forget it. By only opening the OF quick entry pane, you press enter to create the task and go immediately back to what you were doing. Link to comment
jkirker Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Sweet Workflow! Any way to modify it so that when creating an inbox item that you could add a context, date, time etc? Like: of Remind me to get the milk in 1d? or of Remind me to get the milk in 1d at store? Link to comment
Chezstef Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Would be great if you can add Sparrow support too. (new task from email) Link to comment
intranation Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Suggested change: for the quick entry bit, the following code works slightly better from a user experience point of view: set NewTask to make new inbox task with properties {name:theTask, note:theNote} select {NewTask} open as it just pops the quick entry and selects the task you just made, allowing you to dive in and edit the title further, edit contexts etc. Your previous version brings the entire OmniFocus app to the front and doesn't focus the quick entry item.

dwekjjd Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I've created a workflow (with three actions) for creating new OmniFocus tasks. Tnx! Great work. set NewTask to make new inbox task with properties {name:theTask, note:theNote} select {NewTask} open Tnx as well, nice tweak! I added a minor thing: tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab after the open to make the title field editable right away. Link to comment
