Featured integration: Bulk adding for Remember The Milk
Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to get a large number of tasks imported into Remember The Milk all at once? Maybe you have a list of items that you want to copy and paste, for example. For many of these situations, you can use the Import Email Address that we provide. However, if you’re wanting something with a bit more structure, take a look at RTM Bulk Adder. It’s a tool developed by Alasdair North which allows you to add multiple lists of tasks to your account through your browser.
The tool consists of a single webpage which has a number of multi-line text fields (up to 30 of them!) each of which can be used to enter a list of tasks. Smart Add syntax is supported so you can specify all the task’s properties on a single line. For each list, you have the option to save its contents so that you can come back later to continue constructing your lists, or to send it to Remember The Milk, which will import the tasks to your account.
The source code for the webpage is available and you’re free to download it and host it wherever you like for your own use. For convenience, the author has hosted his own copy which you’re free to use as well. When you save your lists, the data is recorded locally in your browser, so none of your tasks are stored server-side.
Got an idea for a tool that will make task management easier for everybody? We’d love to see it! Our API page will show you how to get started.
