I think the Daily Digest is great. I would also be good to get a weekly digest on a monday (or sunday to be configured) so you have a look ahead for what you have on that week? I know you can look at this online but having it in the inbox on a Monday morning would be great (even better I could then forward to my partner)
I am not receiving any recently created reminders, either via email or sms. The reminders appear on Sandy's web page, correctly worded and tagged, but the actual reminders are never sent. Please advise. This has been going on for several days now.
I used another reminder service that was much more primitive, but it did let me choose where each reminder should go. A work reminder could go to the work address, a family reminder could go to my home address.
I'm not a rabid GTD fan, but I do like the idea of having to-do lists and reminders ready for different contexts. There are things I want to do on my lunch hour at work that I really don't need to see on a list at home. There are times I might want a text message when I'm out on errands, but I don't need it for every message.
I'd even be happy if I could just specify where messages would go, by tag. For instance, an @sms tag could override my usual setting and send a text message just this one time. Everything with a @work tag could be send to my work email and so forth.
What I've done for now is set up two different Sandy accounts, one using my work email and one using my home email. That way I'm not distracted at home by work items and vice versa. I hope having two accounts isn't against the Terms.
I have finally found a way to get my full daily digest to me from my phone and its now read to me!
If you are already using www.jott.com you might know of the new jott my feeds where you can have RSS feeds read to you. Currently i have my daily digest sent to my email every morning. But that does not help me if im not near a pc. so if i could turn my email from sandy into an rss then i could make my daily digest email an rss.
so what you need to do is tell sandy to send a daily digest to your email every day. then create a filter to forward that email to xxxxx@mailbucket.org and have your news reader pick it up at mailbucket.org/xxxxx.xml (where you choose xxxxx, having checked that it's not already in use).
so now your daily digest is made into an rss at mailbucket.org/xxxxx
I have a contact in my list called "Chincoteague Island Vacations." I sent the following instruction via email:
l chincoteague contacts
and Sandy returned an email with the contact information I wanted. In other words, it worked perfectly.
Then, just to make sure I could get the same information via mobile if necessary, I used Twitter to DM Sandy with the exact same text. It didn't work. I got the standard "does not compute" response ("Hello! To remember/remind: 'd s r take a break in 15 min'; To update: 'd s u 1 @done'; For more: iwantsandy.com/examples").
Shouldn't the responses to lookups (and to everything) be the same whether one uses email or Twitter?
I've been trying for days to get any form of positive action from Sandy. Despite reminders being receipted by E-mail, I've had absolutely nothing. I even had one receipt for a phone call reminder that afternoon receipted as being dated as same date but 2009. I sent another stating 2008 which was receipted but come the time as usual I received nothing.
my account doesn't seem to be working. I've emailed sandy 3 or more times today and i'm not getting any responses like I usually do. Is there a problem today?
Problem with SMS & Emails. For the last week, I have not had SMS/email reminders delivered timely (if at all). Is the system bottle necked? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to be able to set a rule for how sandy should act on certain forwarded emails. The application I can see is I get emails from my power company saying i have a bill due. If i forward these emails to Sandy, she replies that i didn't tell her what to do. I'd like to be able to tell her, for instance, that if the email contains "From: <NoReply@domain.com>" remind me in 5 days. It won't be perfectly accurate in all situations, but this would allow for some automagic notifications of things that come in via email maybe a little less regular than a bill :)
Hello! I am trying to change a simple setting under settings/email, but keep getting the same error message. I'd like to switch email to plain text, but when I try to save that preference, I get the dreaded antacid error message. I can change and save every other option with no resistance. What's going on? Thanks!
Sandy is very sluggish today. A reminder scheduled for 9.00am still has not arrived, and requests for a fresh daily digest (made on Sandy's homepage) did not arrive for nearly an hour.
I saw someone asking about an AIM Bot for Sandy. It made me think about those bots and how you can ask them questions like finding movie times and numbers for theaters, etc. I also know google has a sms text address to ask for locations and numbers to restaurants, bars, etc. What if Sandy did something like this with text or email? I think it'd be great 411 type service.
I am currently using google calendar/gmail as my core calendar and email applications. For off-line use I have synchronized these with Mozilla's Thunderbird w/lightning plug-in. I like Sandy but would like to sync it with these other apps so there is one master calendar, task list, alerts. Sandy would be the app which notifies me and how would often get updates into the system (e.g., "remind me of ..."). As an aside I have Jott synchronized to google calendar which is cool -- it would be nicer to synch Jott to Sandy.
I'm on Rogers in Canada, and all my SMS reminders come in via emails. Not a huge problem, but annoying that I have to reply with a 'read' message before I can see a reminder. Any suggestions?
Is there a way to make Sandy's responses less verbose? My cell phone has limits on the number of characters that are allowed in an email, so I'd like to drop the non-essentials like the greeting and footer.
Daily digest did not arrive this morning, neither did an sms reminder I had been expecting. Moreover, an item which should have been tagged with @todo was not, despite my having received confirmation from Sandy that the tag had been added correctly.
These are my first problems since the "Fast Company" incident
