Applescript to archive completed Taskpaper tasks to Google Calendar with ifttt.com

ArchiveandLogDone.scpt

-- Archive completed Taskpaper tasks to Google Calendar with ifttt.com
-- First, set up the following recipe at ifttt.com to add completed tasks to your calendar:
-- http://ifttt.com/recipes/30256
--
-- Then use this Applescript to archive tasks. Mail.app needs to have the default account match your ifttt.com email
-- Let me know if you have any questions: [email protected] or @mreidsma


set archivedTasks to ""

		if not (exists project "Archive") then
			make project with properties {name:"Archive"} at end
		end if
		
		set archive to project named "Archive"
		
		-- This whole function is from Brett Terpstra's excellent Taskpaper to DayOne script

			if entry type of _task is not project type then

					if exists (tag named _tag of _task) then delete tag named _tag of _task

				end if
				-- append the full text of the entry, including tags, to our log
				set archivedTasks to archivedTasks & "Tasks: " & (text line of _task)
				-- archive it
				move entry id (id of _task) to beginning of entries of project "Archive"

	end tell

-- Check to see if there were any completed tasks
if archivedTasks is not "" then
	-- Send mail to ifttt to archive to calendar
	tell application "Mail"
		set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Completed #task", content:archivedTasks, visible:false}
		tell theNewMessage

I also recommend using Quicksilver, which overwrites keyboard shortcuts. You can set a HotKey in the Triggers pane and scope it to Taskpaper. Set it up to be the same shortcut as Archive Done Tasks (Shift-Apple-D) and there is no need to use the script menu to get this to fire.

I now send these completed tasks to Day One, a great journaling app that lets you export as plain text. I pretty much use the stock script from Brett Terpstra (which I originally modified here) http://brettterpstra.com/log-taskpaper-archives-to-day-one/
