I’ve just tested it on my iPad and it’s working fine. I wondered whether I’d made changes to my version that I had’t pushed to the Action Directory so I downloaded that online version and it also worked.
I also wondered if it was a credential issue with the IA Writer token, but if that’s wrong you get a proper error message.
Have you changed the basePath variable to the IA Writer folder where you want the drafts to be sent?
If that path doesn’t exist then IA writer will return a clear error that the folder isn’t there, but I am wondering whether you accidentally changed the variable name when you edited it. I am talking about the line that reads:
I don’t know what to say, you’re right Dave. I’m sure I have copied the iA Writer URL token for several times and didn’t notice the button isn’t on. Maybe I need some fresh air. Thank you very much.
DAve, I am trying to install the send multiple Drafts to iAwriter, but my iAwriter 5.6 settings do not offer a token, so how do I get this token that I get prompted to provide by your action?
In IA Writer you need to go to Settings (for iOS) or Preferences (for Mac). Look for an item about ‘URL commands’. URL commands must be enabled and you will find the token there.
I just cannot make this work! I got the token (but not asking… so I reinstalled the action). when I am presented with the action screen, I input this path to the folder that I want in iAwriter
/Users/manuelescolano/Library/Mobile Documents/27N4MQEA55~pro~writer/Documents/Drafts
Then I tried noth ways:
preselect two drafts on the sidebar (CMD-click) and run the action
use the checkboxes presented in the action screen below Path.
Thanks! I am determined to make this work. I fixed the token and,I think, path issues. I Put my token in the script (I am not getting prompted for it), Path per screenshot here: so just /Drafts/
I select 2 -3 test drafts, and after 3 mins (takes a long long time) I get a chime and no drafts in Iawriter.
Ok, I think we need to reset things. Could you please do the following:
Delete your current ‘Send multiple to iA writer’ action
Forget the IA=Writer credentials in the Drafts preferences
Download a new copy of the ‘Send Multiple to iA writer’ action
Run the action, leave the ‘path’ as it is (i.e. just ‘/’) and choose a couple of drafts
If it works, then try it again but type the path you want to use into the ‘path’ section the prompt.
Edit: I forgot to say here that leaving the path as ‘/’ means the drafts should appear in the top level folder in iA Writer, the one you get when you just click ‘iCloud’.
If it doesn’t work, go to the Actions menu, chose ‘Action Log’, copy whatever’s in the messages box for the failed action an post the details here.
