Help with small milkscript question
Hello @salustri,
Based on your description, it sounds like you want this to happen automatically as you complete tasks. Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible with MilkScript since these scripts need to be run manually & interactively by the user from within the RTM website.
OTOH, if you don't mind running a script manually from time to time, then you could probably have it look for all tasks that were completed (say in the past 30 days) and modify their tags.
The MilkScript docs are here: https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/milkscript/
For another reference, I've also written a few report-type scripts and you can check them out on GitHub: https://github.com/kjhosein/rtm-milkscript-scripts/. These don't modify anything, but they do look for completed tasks.
HTH!

Hi salustri,
Thanks for your reply, Khalid! Very helpful. 💙
I wanted to add that you can trigger a MilkScript to run remotely via IFTTT or Zapier: our integrations have a "trigger " of tasks being completed, and you can then trigger a script to run.
This would run after every completed task, so you may want to adjust your script to suit.
I hope this helps all around! Keep us posted if you need any more help.

Thx Andrew - I had no idea!
Sorry salustri for the bad advice! ;-)
I decided to play around in IFTTT to create an applet that could do this, but I got stuck at the end where it's prompting for script parameters.

Where do you plugin the name of the script?
I don't see any RTM docs on this.

Hi kjh,
It looks like you are in the "publish" screen there. The script name won't show up because this is "for everyone", since publishing makes an applet available to others.
If you go back and click on the applet, and then click "Settings" at the top right, you should see the edit screen where you can select your script. (And others can do the same once they use your published applet.)
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything further. 💙
