A nice surprise

A nice surprise

H Kirill Maximov,

I have just opened up Checkvist to find that, through no effort by me, there is a new icon-envelope-alt css styling applied to tasks sent by email showing an envelope next to each item.

How did I miss such a change? Was there anything else in a recent update that I should be aware of?

Thanks,

Mark

    Wow, Mark the Hawk Eye!
    The change went live yesterday evening (our usual server update time :) Here are the details: blog.checkvist.com - Android ‘Note to Self’ to Checkvist: voice command integration via email

    Hi Kirill Maximov,

    I have just noticed that presence of the new email "envelope" breaks the sub-list styling

    e.g. if I add "[1]" to a list item that was emailed into the list then the sub-list is not numbered.

    Any chance this could be fixed?

    Also, would it be possible to optionally hide the email envelope ?

    Hi Mark Dickens, the bug with [1] should be fixed now, thanks!

    As for hiding the envelope - I'd suggest copying text of the item into a freshly created one as a workaround. No other ways yet, sorry.

    I would like to use the URL for an Office365 email in a Zapier Zap. How would I go about getting the envelope icon added to the template used in the Zap to signify that the resulting Checkvist item came from an email?

    Thanks.

    Glenn Johnson Checkvist shows the icon when the item is added via e-mail. I.e. your Zap should send an e-mail to the Checkvist list address, using "Add task via e-mail" feature of Checkvist. I think Zapier should be able to send e-mails.
    Hope this helps,

    Kirill Maximov I was hoping to be able to use the icon directly in the Zapier template without going through an extra email step. I suppose another way of doing this is to use the hidden tag and icon method and add the tag to the template.

    Thanks

    Hello +Glenn Johnson, unfortunately, there is no such a possibility at the moment. We can add it at some point, but I cannot promise any specific estimates.

    What you can do now is to automatically add a #from_zapier to the zapier-added items and use CSS styling to mark those items somehow: checkvist.com - Checkvist customization (CSS samples) - outlined in Checkvist

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
