Systemd units are included.\nAll options are in the configuration file so simply run the script\nperiodically.\n\n## Configuration\n__TO BE UPDATED: config now lives in login.conf, tables.conf, and\nphrases.conf__\n\nAn example configuration file is included. The can be copied and modified and installed\nwith -c. The example will be copied \nto `/etc/attaskcreator` for future reference.\nFields are as follows:\n\n[Email]\n\n__User:__ burner email to retrieve emails from\n\n__Password:__ password for the burner email. You should enable two factor and\ngenerate an app password because it will be stored in plain text. Also do not\nrun this on from a server you do not fully control.\n\n__IMAP URL:__ url for imap retrieval of burner email\n\n__SMTP URL:__ url for smtp sending from burner email\n\n__Error Email:__ your email to send a message to if a record is not created.\n\n\n[Airtable]\n\n__API Key:__ The api key for the database you want to use. (See the\n[Airtable Documentation](http://airtable.com/api) for more information.)\n\n__Database ID:__ The database id for the database you want to use. This is the\npart of the api url after /v0/.\n\n[AWS]\n\n__Access Key ID:__ Api access key id for uploading attachments temporarily to\ns3\n\n__Secret Access Key:__ Secret key for uploading attachments temporarily to s3\n\n__Bucket:__ Bucket for uploading attachments temporarily.\n\nAirtable can only accept files in the form of urls to download. Current\nimplementation uploads attachments to s3 and generates a pre-signed url for\nAirtable to use. It is recommended to configure an AWS user that has access\nonly to the bucket used for this and expire the objects in that bucket very\nquickly.\n\n\n[Tasks Table]\n\nThis is the table that new records will be inserted into\n\n__Name:__ the name of the table\n\n__People Link Field:__ The field that is linked to the people table\n\n__Attachment Link Field:__ The field that is linked to the files table\n\n__Text Field:__ The field where the parsed text will be inserted\n\n__Notes Field:__ Optionally the full text of the email can be inserted into\nthis field, leave out to not do this.\n\n\n[People Table]\n\nThis is the table with all the people in it.\n\n__Name:__ the name of the table\n\n__Email Field:__ The field containing the email addresses\n\n\n[Files Table]\n\nThis is the table that will have attachments uploaded to it.\n\n__Name:__ the name of the table.\n\n__Key Field:__ the primary key for the table.\n\n__Attachment Field:__ The field where the actual attachments will be uploaded.\n\n\n[Parse]\n\n\n__Termination Character:__ see above.\n\n__phrases.conf__\n__Trigger Phrase:__ This is the prefix to the text that will be grabbed from\nthe email. Everything after this will be grabbed for the __Text Field__ in the\nTasks Table up to the __Termination Character__.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frickh94%2Fattaskcreator","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frickh94%2Fattaskcreator","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frickh94%2Fattaskcreator/lists"}
