ActionComplete for Web Adds Integration With Google Docs, Improves Integration With Google Calendar

August 30, 2011

ActionComplete for Web meets the fall with a major feature update - Google Docs attachments. Integration with Google Calendar is now more intuitive and user-friendly.

You can create Google Docs attachments in several ways: via Attachments tab on new/edit task form, via email, and by typing a long note.

Attachments tab allows you to link a task to up to five Google Docs files. The files can be documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and any other files created in or uploaded to Google Docs.

Another way to link a task to a Google Docs document is to email the task to your ActionComplete email address. If the body of the email is longer than 300 characters ActionComplete automatically creates an attachment and links it to the new task.

ActionComplete now allows long notes. If a note is more than 300 characters long it is automatically converted to a Google Docs document that is attached to the task being created or modified.

You can now choose your Google Calendar calendars to be displayed in ActionComplete via a user-friendly Options dialog. The selected calendars preserve their native colors for easy identification.

New Convert button allows for easy conversion of a task to a different type (Action/Wait/Project/Idea). The same effect can be achieved by dragging and dropping the task as needed.

Attachments can be created in AC for Web only. However you can view them on your phone if you update your AC for Android to version 1.5.0 currently available at Android Market.

To access the new features described above please force-refresh (Ctrl-F5 or similar) ActionComplete page in your browser.

Testimonials

ActionComplete system is more comprehensive (and GTD integrated) than anything else out there that I've found. For managing hyper focus and the next action review for a project the interface is clean and easy to use. In other words, one less taxing thing on my mind, which is what GTD is all about.

~ Darren

As the owner of a busy web development company, I struggled with managing multiple projects and tasks. I read "Getting Things Done" and I needed a solution that would seamlessly work with my droid, plus have the option of accessing from the web. ActionComplete fits the bill perfectly! It's easy, simple, and keeps me on track in a way that doesn't unnecessarily bog me down. In other words, I don't spend my day managing my to-do's, like I did with some other apps. The pro version is beyond a doubt the best $20 per year I have ever spent.

~ Kathy

When I first read Getting Things Done, it changed my life. For the first time, I felt in complete control over my work. I accomplished relentlessly. The problem with GTD is finding a 'trusted system.' This is it! ActionComplete has replaced all my notecards, lists, and agendas. I grab my phone or the web and go. Well worth the pro upgrade.

~ Derek

I've been with AC from close to the very beginning and watched it develop into the amazing resource (not app) that it is now. I think now is the time for us to really get with the AC Wave and say THANKS for a brilliant, helpful, adaptable and yet approachable app.

~ Ross

I just wanted to let you know that AC is the reason I got a smart phone. So thanks for the extra 40.00 a month on my phone bill. :) It's worth it. I'm new to GTD and will make AC the core of my system.
