Automate toDayOne
This article has been published a while ago.
If this is a technical article some information might be out of date. If something is terribly broken, let me know and I will update the article accordingly.
Some weeks ago I published a post on how to store your Jawbone UP data into DayOne.app. The script got quite popular and many people reached out to me with questions and smaller problems.
Today I want to show you how you can automate the execution of the script with Hazel.app. The app isn't free but has a 14-day trial. Just download it and try it out.
Setup #
Open the Hazel preference panel and add your up-logs folder to the folders list. (The up-logs folder should be in your Dropbox folder ~/Users/$username/Apps/up-export/up-logs).
Create a new rule and add the following filter: Date added - is after - Date Last Matched. As soon as a new file is placed in your up-logs folder Hazel will be triggered.
Now we configure the following action: Run shell script - embedded script. Then click on the little "i"-button next to "Edit script". Shell should be /bin/bash or /usr/local/bin/bash. The script which should be executed is:
sh /Users/$username/Dropbox/Apps/up-export/toDayOne.sh
Just replace $username with your Mac OS X username or adjust your path so that the file toDayOne.sh will be found by Hazel.
The rule should look like my rule in the picture below.
