Automating OmniFocus on iOS

Recent under-the-hood improvements to OmniFocus for iOS have opened up a multitude of ways to automate OmniFocus on iOS. If your work is at all repetitive, the time and energy invested to learn and implement automation pays handsome dividends.

For example, templates created in Editorial for iOS can be transformed into new OmniFocus projects within seconds. You can choose to be prompted for project-specific information, including the project start and due dates and strings to be inserted into the project (e.g. the name of a client). In addition to dramatically speeding up project creation, this approach is methodical by nature and minimizes the chance of anything slipping through the cracks.

Attend the webinar and learn:

• How to create projects based on templates using OmniFocus in combination with Editorial for iOS, a plain text editor for iOS that supports automation and the OmniFocus-compatible TaskPaper format.
• How to automate interactions between OmniFocus and other apps (e.g. Fantastical) using Workflow for iOS.
• How to use Launch Center Pro for iOS to conveniently trigger workflows and quickly access OmniFocus data and features.
• How to conveniently capture information into OmniFocus using Drafts for iOS.
• And more…
