Process Inbox
The Process Inbox automation processes tasks in the inbox and matches them with a collection of TaskPaper templates stored in Bear.
The TaskPaper templates have placeholders which are delimited thusly: «placeholder»
Default values are specified like «placeholder|default»
Based on where the placeholder is in the TaskPaper, Process Inbox can determine what type of field to prompt to the user and if it is in a @tags(Path : to : «placeholder») construct, will provide a selector for appropriate tags.
Conditionals can be set up by putting the «placeholder» inside a @dropped(«placeholder») construct with the negation looking like this: @dropped(!«placeholder»)
Either @defer(«placeholder») or @due(«placeholder») will prompt for a date, and you can have a default like this: @defer(«placeholder|2w») to defer 2 weeks. A second task that says @defer(«placeholder»+3d) will be deferred 3 days later than the first one.
The Bear notes have a header with the name of the Template and are tagged with #TaskPaper and sometimes #TaskPaper/MustMatch. The template name may have placeholders in it. If so, the template is only offered if the task matches the name. The template with a #TaskPaper/MustMatch tag is also only offered if it matches.
An expanded task may be saved back to Bear with the #TaskPaper/MustMatch tag added to save from re-entering tasks that recur frequently.
If there are no placeholders to expand, the template is applied without prompting.
