Feature request: MLO as IFTTT channel

[Peter van Lieshout]

Hi all, Andrey,

Being an very active GTD practitioner I am using MLO now for a number of years now. In my opinion one of the most versatile solutions of its kind.
However 2 years ago I started using Evernote to grab info fast and make digital notes during meetings for instance. I know you can create links in MLO to Evernote articles. However reviewing Evernote and extract actions into MLO is too time consuming.

The are a number of very good tools under development that let Evernote be your input source and then help you manage the GTD process around it like Zendone or Smarttm. Both are less versatile as MLO, but have some strong advantages like the review process of notes from Evernote.Although I am loyal to MLO I am really looking in to new possibilities to increase my productivity.

Question/request:
Is there a plan to make MLO a channel for IFTTT, so that we can easily and automatically integrate Evernote input into the (MLO) GTD inbox like is possible with Toodledo.

Really looking forward to your reply.

Cheers,
Peter

In a similar vein, support for OPML import/export would be useful. Particularly import.

In addition to my own request; if MLO becomes an IFTTT channel you can easily export task to e.g. Google calendar or any other channel you like to use.

Take a look at this site http://www.taskclone.com/, someone else posted this.  I never tried it out, but potentially could help you.

I use TaskClone and it works beautifully.

Hi Mark,

Looks good indeed (maybe even better than the current IFTTT channel for Evernote).

Thanks,

Peter

Yeah, an IFTTT channel would be great. Actually a Microsoft Flow would be more useful. Integrate with more business systems. Even be able to have splits. IFTTT is 1 => 1   Flow is 1 => ∞ so having to do the business and personal stuff would be much more effient without breaks.

Hi guys

The tasks can be added to mlo by sending an email to cloud. The feature is called task-to-email and it's available to all cloud-sync users.
(https://www.mylifeorganized.net/support/task-by-email-released-on-mlo-cloud/)

If you can find a way to send the tasks from evernote to the cloud profile, then you'll get your tasks directly to your mlo inbox. I guess such ifttt plugin is not very hard to develop or maybe there is one which does this.

I love ifttt and I would love to have an MLO channel in IFTTT so I could
have a context close at sunset, flash the room lights when a very
important task goes overdue, or autocomplete my weekday routine on
holidays. I can only imagine.

Back to earth, about a year ago I created a recipe triggered in Evernote
with targetted action in MLO. The recipe was, whenever I applied an
"MLO" tag to a note in Evernote, the note would be copied into MLO as a
task.

I'm not using it any more because there were problems. Most commonly,
tasks that should have showed up in MLO did not appear. After a bunch of
debugging I cleared MLO of any suspicion of wrongdoing, the problem was
between Evernote and IFTTT. When the tasg change happened in Evernote,
IFTTT was not triggered immediately but was triggered anywhere from 1
minute to maybe 20 minutes later. Also, the channel seemed to be able to
hold only a single event. so, when I would tag two different notes with
the MLO tag in less than about 20 minutes, one of them would be lost.
