Editorial Workflow — Copy as OmniFocus URL

Copy as OmniFocus URL

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Based on Ken Case’s workflow for adding TaskPaper projects directly to OmniFocus, this one copies it to the clipboard as a URL so it can be a template that launches straight from a note in an OmniFocus task
