WunderSchedule

A Node.js module that allows you to 'schedule' tasks to appear in your Wunderlist todos

Installation

1. Install with npm install -g wunderschedule.
2. Go to the Wunderlist Developer Portal and register an app. Take note of your Client ID. Click Create Access Token and record the resulting token.
3. Run wunderschedule auth and paste in your Client ID and Access Token.

Usage

1. Run wunderschedule once in the command line and do Ctrl-C to kill it. This will create a list called scheduled in your Wunderlist account. (Alternatively, just created a list entitled scheduled)
2. Add tasks in the scheduled lists to schedule todos. Wunderschedule uses special tags that you enter into the 'note' section of the tasks to allow you to schedule upcoming todos. The task's title will be maintained as the title of the resulting todo.
3. Run wunderschedule and let it continue running in the background. Every minute, it will check the scheduled list and create tasks defined by the template tasks if necessary.

Example

Suppose I want to remind myself every Friday afternoon to take out the trash.

1. Create a task called Take out the Trash in the scheduled list.

2. In the 'Note' section of the task, enter:

   due-date: Friday
   start-time: 4pm
   repeat-every: Friday
   

3. When I leave wunderschedule running, on Friday I will receive a todo in my inbox at 4pm with the title Take out the Trash. Furthermore, this task will be created by wunderschedule every Friday.

Note: Do not put any data in the Wunderlist 'Due Date' or 'Remind Me' fields in template tasks. While this will not disrupt the functionality of Wunderschedule, it is unnecessary and defeats the purpose of Wunderschedule.

Tags

start-time: - Defines the time (on due date) at which the scheduled task will appear in your todo.

list: - [Optional] The name of the list you want the task to appear in. Defaults to inbox.

starred - [Optional] Whether or not the resulting task should be starred (No parameter needed; the pressense of starred by itself will make the task starred)

due-date: - Due date of the task. Sets both the due date in the resulting todo, and gates the day when the todo is created.

repeat-every - [Optional] Defines when the task should be repeated.

• Example inputs: Multiple days of week can be specified space-separated (i.e. Monday Wednesday Friday is valid). day, week, month, year, are valid as are scaled versions of these (i.e. 3 days)

Note: All times / dates are parsed with DateJS, which has a handy validator on their homepage. If your input parses with that test, then it should work in Wunderschedule.

Attribution

• Thanks to Wunderline for their well documented code. A lot of the implimentation of Wunderschedule was inspired by Wunderline.
