A collection of scripts I use in my PC setup when booted into Windows.

AutoHotKey

Within Windows AutoHotKey is a great tool for automating different actions. Many of my scripts for Windows use AHK for function and trigger, so if using these please ensure you have AHK 1.1.x installed (https://www.autohotkey.com/download/). AutoHotKey scripts are easily distinguished by the .ahk filetype.

Outlook to Moo.do

  • There is no integration between these two applications.
  • The goal is to automate the input of Outlook emails to actions in Moo.do.
  • Outlook does not support linking in, so Email Subject will be used as reference.

When in Outlook reading the email you wish to add as a task, run the hotkey. The hotkey is scoped to only Outlook (ahk_exe OUTLOOK.EXE).

The hotkey will run the following process of steps:

  1. Copy email info from Outlook (of active email conversation)
  2. Strip out common headings (headings of email list are also copied)
    • Subject, From, Recieved, Categories
  3. Switch to Moo.do window (currently needs to be already open)
  4. Add new item, filling in details, leaving user to enter Task title
    • Project Email Inbox is default, but can be changed in the AHK or Moo.do UI for one-offs
    • Email info is entered into Notes field
  5. User saves

Hotkey: Ctrl+Shift+1
