Integration with Tasker

[hnn]

What a great product! But I can not figure out the integration with Tasker.

The only function i find is the Action Plugin Aquamail settings. But I want to check email or receive an event just like I can do with K-9 mail.

The settings you have when you access the plugin in Tasker itself. There you plenty of options and settings.

You sure?

I'm not finding much in the of State or Event triggers available in Tasker.

I have a task that tells my tablet to refresh email when it comes in on my phone (so I only have one set of push subscriptions) and I ended up having to use the standard Notification event to trigger it.

Am I missing something?

Ah you mean a direct integration of AquMail into Tasker. like K9 and some view others. That is not the case and would be a cooperation between Tasker and AM. You should also ask in the Tasker forum for that as it may be more work from that side. But i like that idea.

For now the tasker plugin triggers an action in AquaMail after a certain event, state, time,etc. took place.

But why does it say on the Aquamail description on Google Play:

"Integration with Tasker (change settings, trigger mail check)."

It sounds like somebody has made some sort of integration... But how does one then trigger mail check?

That is correct.
You can set an event (for example at a certain time, date, event) in Tasker  and in the new task you use the AM plugin. There you can trigger change settings, trigger email check etc.) The plugin works for tasks not for the event, time, etc.

Create your Event in Tasker, then Select PlugIn, AquaMail Settings then press Edit on Configuration.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the settings dialog and you'll have Actions listed : Press Check mail then select which accounts you want to check for.

Not the most obvious I know, but it does work!

All that happens is a forced update in AquaMail. I really need to get the information about the latest email. Data like sender, subject, attached files, and ics file data for meetings, like starting and ending times,location, and meeting title.

Providing access to message data via Tasker is something that I've been having trouble getting to, for a long time, sorry.

[Rachel Ambler]

Damn you and your insistence to have but a single head and only one pair of hands.

You sure we can't graft something extra on to you?

I'd comment about you taking time off to sleep but I'm not sure if you do sleep these days.

So, is better Tasker interaction on the "long term" radar or the "someday never" radar?

Picking up this old thread, since I just got my Pebble smart watch.

To me, it would be very useful if you could add a Tasker e-mail event plugin or whatever is needed. With email title, sender, content, etc. The Pebble ecosystem has no knowledge of your very fine AquaMail, so the only way to get AquaMail email notification to the Pebble is to get Tasker to monitor for notifications from AqualMail. Unfortunatelyg, the Android system only allows Tasker to read the title of a notification, not the content, according to what I've read. So when I get a new email, my Pebble (through Tasker and a Pebble notification plugin) only tells me that I have "28 unread messages in Smart Folder". Nothing about the new email I just got. It would be very nice if I could get information about the latest email(s) on my Pebbble, without having to switch to another email app.

[Insert standard disclaimer about my appreciation of AquaMail, and that I would not replace it with any other email app, even if this feature is not added.]

Ok. This is still somewhere on my to-do -- and it's downright embarrassing that I've not gotten around to it yet.

Re: direct Pebble support -- if I'm going to take the time to dive into an entirely unfamiliar development ecosystem, it's going to be Samsung's Gear 2 and its Tizen.

Re: Tasker -- I'd appreciate an email (kmansoft / gmail) explaining how Tasker event triggers work, and how you can access variables from them (you'd mentioned being able to read the title of a notification).

I should also mention that Aqua has an API for third party notification enhancement apps.

If there is someone out there who's trying to create some sort of "Easy and powerful notification center for your Pebble watch" (why not?), I'd be happy to talk to them.

Thanks for the good news!

With regards to Tasker integration. I am sorry, but I have nothing that would help you there. You already have some configuration integration, so you are far ahead of me. I assume you have managed to Google your way to this: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/plugins.html

I contacted "Glance for Pebble" developer regarding your API. I believe that Glance is one of the more popular easy and powerful notification centers for Pebble watches. I has K9-Mail support, but you know - who want that?

[Kostya Vasilyev]

@mabahj --

Thanks for emailing the developer of Glance for Pebble. I'll be happy to provide API details if he contacts me.

About Tasker -- yes, I've seen that page, but was unable to figure out condition-based events before... Looks like he has some new documentation up there now, we'll see...

[Kostya Vasilyev]

I was contacted by developer of Glance for Pebble today. Hooray!
