2Do Task Email

Create tasks from natural language and send them to 2Do app via email. Supports both Chinese and English input.

Execution

Natural language mode (recommended)

Pass the user's raw message. The script parses task title, due date, priority, list, and tags automatically:

bash {baseDir}/scripts/send-task.sh --raw "USER_MESSAGE_HERE"

Structured mode

When task components are already extracted:

bash {baseDir}/scripts/send-task.sh --title "TITLE" --list "LIST_NAME" --tags "TAG1,TAG2"

Parameters

Natural Language Patterns

Task prefixes

Chinese: "添加任务：", "创建待办：", "提醒我：", "记录任务：", "新建任务：", "加个任务："

English: "add task:", "create todo:", "remind me to", "remember to"

No-prefix input is also supported — the entire input becomes the task title.

Date/time extraction

Relative dates: 今天, 明天, 后天, 大后天

Week days: 周一~周日, 下周一~下周日, 星期X

Specific dates: X月X日/号

Time: 上午/下午/晚上 X点 X分/半

Extracted dates are automatically converted to 2Do's start() and due() format in the email subject for proper task scheduling.

List and tag assignment

Chinese: "列表是X", "到X列表", "标签是X和Y"

English: ", list X", ", tag X and Y"

Priority

Chinese: 紧急(high), 重要(medium), 不急(low)

English: urgent(high), important(medium), low priority(low)

Output

Success: ✅ 任务已发送到 2Do: {task title}

Failure: error message with non-zero exit code.
