Automating OmniFocus with Omni Automation: Fundamentals

Omni Automation is a technology that allows you to add functionality to OmniFocus on iPhone, iPad, and Mac using “plug-ins”. This technology is also supported by Omni’s other apps and can be a helpful way to create a bridge between OmniFocus and OmniOutliner, OmniGraffle, and OmniPlan.

Everyone is welcome. No previous Omni Automation experience is required.

This session will help you tap into Omni Automation’s power by making use of existing OmniFocus plug-ins, including those that are shared on the Omni Automation website. This session doesn’t assume any previous knowledge of Omni Automation and doesn’t require any programming skills.

Please Note: OmniFocus Pro is required to use Omni Automation on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
