Importing iOS Reminders into GQueues

[Andy Graff]

As most people know, there is no direct integration between iOS Reminders and GQueues. I did see some references to using Zapier and IFTTT. Again, no direct connection between Zapier or IFTTT to GQueues so you are forced to use the "trigger and then email" method. But Zapier doesn't even integrate with iOS Reminders, so it really only leaves IFTTT. 

IFTTT is nice but not very powerful. So it got me thinking on how to do this using Shortcuts. It's built right into iOS and it is very powerful. So I built a shortcut (see below) that moved the reminder from iOS to GQueues and then deletes the reminder. It also brings over the due date and time which you cannot due in IFTTT. 

i can either manually force this to happen by clicking the shortcut link or it will fire off a few times a day using automation. Either way gets it to GQueues. 

You need to create this shortcut as well to delete the reminders. 

I hope this helps someone!

Super cool, Andy!  I tried this and was able to sync my Reminders to GQueues.

Also, if you are looking for a way to create tasks in GQueues using Siri, that's possible too:

1. Add a contact to your phone with the email address of the desired queue (from the queue details panel)

2. Then you can just tell Siri "Send an email to 'GQueues Reminders' " (or whatever you named the contact)

3. Speak your task as the subject of the email and tell Siri to send it!
