albertkinng Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I was looking for a workflow to use with Taskade, my Task Manager tool. Unfortunately, I discovered that an API was required to create one, but the developer of Taskade didn't have one at the time. This dashed my hopes of having the workflow I wanted. However, now the developer has released an API for sharing, and I'm wondering if using it will allow me to finally create my desired workflow. There's just one problem - I'm not a programmer, and this will be my first attempt at using the Alfred platform for that. Is it possible for me to create a workflow with the API, or is it beyond my capabilities? Link to comment
Andrew Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Every API is unique in what it provides, and APIs can be simple or complex depending on the features or data they provide. If you're comfortable with programming, and can read documentation (assuming the API documentation is thorough and clear), then programming a tool to use an API doesn't have to be too complex. Having said that, in your case, you will need to write some code to use this API. If you're not comfortable with that, it might be worth waiting for a user on this forum who has an interest in Taskade to help with this. Alternatively, ask the Taskade community? mrxinu and albertkinng 2 Link to comment

Although I'm not a programmer, I would absolutely love to utilize Alfred with Taskade. Now that the API is accessible, I am determined to figure out a way to make it happen. Link to comment
albertkinng Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 @harlowhenry Got it! I’m only good at html/css java and php! So, I think Alfred will never handle Taskade for me then… Link to comment
Vero Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 @albertkinng It's always worth asking the Taskade community (e.g. if they have a forum) as there are most likely cross-over fans of Taskade and Alfred who have the right knowledge to help create such a workflow. albertkinng 1 Link to comment

Stephen_C Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Alfred does not mind what programming language you use: you can use any programming language you wish, including those you mentioned. Stephen vitor 1 Link to comment
giovanni Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 @albertkinng what are the basic features you'd like to see in such a workflow? searching for tasks, completing them, creating new ones? Link to comment

Taskade has been upgraded with incredible add-ons that now allow you to unleash the full potential of your productivity. With the ability to create agents to perform tasks for you and to set up automations, the possibilities are endless. However, I would love to leverage Alfred seamlessly: 1. Select text or links and seamlessly send them to a project as a task or as part of a task list. 2. Download PDFs or assets directly into Taskade's media tray from a link by simply copying to Alfred. 3. Access a project using an Alfred shortcut and view its tasks, enabling me to easily mark them as completed. 4. Effortlessly create a project or add a task to an existing project directly through Alfred. I have more specific requirements, but these are the essential features that I would love to see integrated into a workflow. Link to comment
