I am hoping to use Make so when I create a To-Do item in OneNote, I can get a Task created on my Google tasks. I’m not having much luck, probably due to my inexperience and not finding a template or examples to leverage.
I’ve played with the OneNote Watch pages, but it only seems to trigger when a new Section is created and I want it to trigger only when a To-Do item is created regardless of Section and/or Page.
For a specific Notebook, and for any Section and Pages, if a To-Do item is created, I want that To-Do to appear on Google tasks. It would be great to have the Section as the parent task, and the wording on the task to be Section.To-Do text.
Hello @checkyourmirrors,
What is a “To-Do” item in OneNote?
I imagine it’s just an item in a list on a page?
If that’s the case, you could use Watch pages to monitor when a page is updated, but it is up to you to come up with the logic to determine what has changed.
This is where it becomes very difficult unfortunately…
You can tag a line as a To-Do which adds a check mark, so I guess I would have to look for that tag, and seems complicated. I’ve been looking at Pleexy which is super simple but doesn’t allow for much customization.
Looks like when it’s tagged a To-Do, then the HTML content of the page includes that as well. You could in theory grab the contents of the page and extract those elements with that tag, for example:
<span data-tag="to-do">Item 7</span>
For that, you could use a Text Parser Match Pattern module with something like this as a pattern:
<span data-tag="to-do">([\w\s]*)<\/span>
The result would look something like this:
Aggregate $1 from all the bundles from Text Parser Match Pattern and you’ll end up with an array of To-Do items.
The next task would be to combine that task list with what’s in Google and only add what Google doesn’t already have.
