There are several ways to automate OmniFocus using Zapier, a workflow automation software, to save time and simplify task management for both work and personal life. Automation can turn OmniFocus into a powerful project hub by automatically generating tasks from various sources such as Slack messages, emails, calendar events, Todoist, Microsoft To-Do, Asana, Airtable, Trello, Notion, and even Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook. By creating Zaps that connect these different apps, users can streamline their workflow, reduce busy work, and ensure they never miss important tasks again.
