Hi again,
I found the following script at The Brooks Review ([https://brooksreview.net/2015/07/daily-emails/]), but I can’t seem to get it to work - it sends an email, but the email is empty. This is literally the first time I have opened AppleScript, could anyone with more knowledge have a peek at this to see if there is something simple or obvious to fix? It would be great to be able to send emails with the task list of due today or starting soon (in essence the forecast view).
Many thanks
–==============================
– Script name: Email OmniFocus Task Completion Report
– Version 1.2
– Written By: Phil Gorrindo pgorrindo.github@gorrindo.com and http://phil.gorrindo.com
– Description: This script retrieves a list of OmniFocus tasks completed yesterday or today. It then sends an email report.
– Version History:
– 1.0 - Initial release
– 1.1 - fixed errors on unescaped angle brackets and quotes, and removed context/project title code to speed up script
– 1.2 - added switch for sending email via mail.app or command-line, since command-line doesn’t work with some ISPs
– Based on the following original scripts:
– http://www.tuaw.com/2013/04/15/applescripting-omnifocus-send-completed-task-report-to-evernot/
– http://veritrope.com/code/write-todays-completed-tasks-in-omnifocus-to-a-text-file/
– Great Many Hacks added by: Ben Brooks (brooksreview.net) to make this an email sent to email address.
–==============================
property toAddress : “YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS”
property fromAddress : “YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS”
–property theReportScope : “Yesterday”
property theReportScope : “Today”
– send the email via Mail.app or via command-line. Command-line won’t always work, if an ISP blocks this
– possible options: “mail.app” | “cli”
property emailMethod : “mail.app”
