Integration

Tracks kann mit verschiedenen Werkzeugen zusammenarbeiten... was immer Sie brauchen, um Ihre Aufgaben zu erledigen! Auf dieser Seite finden Sie Informationen, um einige dieser Werkzeuge einzurichten. Diese Beispiele sind nicht unbedingt auf Ihre Umgebung anwendbar oder bedürfen mehr technisches Wissen als andere. Weitere Informationen finden Sie in der <%= link_to "Entwickler Documentation der Tracks' REST API", url_for(:action => 'rest_api') %> (englisch).

Inhalt:

• Anstehende Aufgaben automatisch sich via E-Mail zusenden lassen
• Tracks mit einem Mail-Server integrieren, um Aufgaben via E-Mail zu erstellen
• Tracks zu Ihrer Google Gmail Seite hinzufügen

Automatically Email Yourself Upcoming Actions

If you enter the following entry to your crontab, you will receive email every day around 5 AM with a list of the upcoming actions which are due within the next 7 days.

You can of course use other text <%= link_to 'feeds provided by Tracks', feeds_path %> -- why not email a list of next actions in a particular project to a group of colleagues who are working on the project?

Integrated email/SMS receiver

If Tracks is running on the same server as your mail server, you can use the integrated mail handler built into tracks. Steps to set it up:

• Go to <%= link_to t('layouts.navigation.preferences'), preferences_url %> and set your "<%= Preference.human_attribute_name('sms_email') %>" and "<%= Preference.human_attribute_name('sms_context') %>" for todos sent in via email (which could come from an SMS message)
• In sendmail/qmail/postfix/whatever, set up an email address alias to pipe messages to

  /PATH/TO/TRACKS/bin/rails r -e production 'MessageGateway.receive(STDIN.read)'

• Send an email to your newly configured address!

You can also use the Rich Todo API to send in tasks like "do laundry @ Home" or "Call Bill > project X". The subject of the message will fill description, context, and project, while the body will populate the tasks's note.

You may need to configure your site.yml to tell the message gateway to look at the to: field or from: field to lookup Tracks' user from the email address in that field.

You can also send all email to a specific Tracks user. Configure mail_dispatch in site.yml to single_user and pass the login of the user:

TRACKS_MAIL_RECEIVER=<%=current_user.login%> /PATH/TO/TRACKS/bin/rails r -e production 'MessageGateway.receive(STDIN.read)'

Add Tracks as a Google Gmail gadget

You can now manage your projects/actions inside Gmail using Tracks Gmail Gadget. Add Tracks Gmail gadget to the sidebar of Gmail and track your next actions or add new action without explicitly open new browser tab for Tracks. Steps to set it up:

• Sign in to Gmail and click Settings in the top right of your Gmail page. In Gmail setting page, click Labs tab
• Enable the "Add any gadget by URL" feature. You will find it at bottom of the list. Select Enable radio button and click Save Changes button.
• Now you can see Gadgets tab added to Gmail Settings. Go to the Gadgets tab
• Paste following link to the Add a gadget by its URL: and then click Add button:
  

  <%= integrations_url + "/google_gadget.xml" %>
