The command input requires a path to the directory that holds the contact files. For example:
alas --insert-days 3 --schedule-contacts contacts plan.md
This command might insert new contact tasks for today:
# My Plan
## Inbox
- [ ] #home - Fix the lamp
## 2020-08-01, Saturday
- [ ] Contact John Doe
- [ ] Congratulate birthday to Marry Doe
- [X] Pay bills
Note: Alas will insert contact tasks only for days that are already
present in the plan. If a day doesn’t exist, --schedule-contacts won’t
insert a day. This means that it’s best to use --schedule-contacts in
combination with --insert-days. Alas will make sure that --insert-days
is always executed before --schedule-contacts.
If you don’t run Alas every day, it’s possible to miss scheduling a birthday
reminder. If a birthday reminder scheduling is missed, the task will be
scheduled the next time you execute --schedule-contacts.
Missed tasks are marked. For example - Congratulate birthday to Jane
(missed on 2022-09-05).
