How to add the command in a template and make it auto-run

[ferranrego]

Hi,

firstly, thanks @hkgnp for developing for this plugin, it really made my life easier.

I'm opening this issue because:

1. I have a template that is executed daily and it appears on my journal block.
2. I would like the command /pull today to be executed and generate the list of task of that day automatically.

Is that possible? Adding the command to the template now executes the command instead of waiting to execute it every midnight.

Thanks!

Hi! It is technically possible, but it is not something that everyone may need it. Will need to regularly background-check the system to see if it's midnight (when the computer is on) and then execute the script.

Thanks for the answer, this is how I do it with the "Unfinished business" plugin:

Is there something similar with todoist plugin?

I see what you mean. Apologies. I don't use templates in my workflows actually. It is possible to use macrorenderer for this, but will need to add it in as a new feature. However, it has been a crazy year and I am not able to commit to when I can implement it though! Will work on this when I have time.

Sounds good! Many thanks @hkgnp!!

Please update the plugin and setup your template as follows (i.e. {{renderer :todoist_randomword}}):

Let me know if it works.

Hi @hkgnp, thanks for this update. Seems what I was looking for, but I'm not sure if I do it well, but the string {{renderer: todoist_randomword}} still stays in the page after being executed, and then every time I interact with the tasks or the block, it executes again.

Apologies could you try to update to the latest version and try to set it up again?

Works like a charm now, many thanks @hkgnp!!
