Since it was asked in this topic Is it possible to make a Tickler file action? - #7 by mrkwr I wanted to share how I managed to trigger an action once a day the first time I open drafts that day.
I summed this up in a blogpost (how I import my Readwise highlights once a day but actually you can run any action you want with this approach. You need to do the following steps:
- Get the import latest Readwise highlights (automated) action (of course this is not necessary if you want to run another action)
- Download and set up the Import Reading Highlights Drafts Automation Shortcut (you need to select the action you want to run during installation).
- Create a personal automation in Shortcuts that triggers the Shortcut as soon as you open Drafts.
