MeisterTask Integration (Template) - Get All Open Tasks

You can integrate MeisterTask into NotePlan using the following template which downloads all your open tasks and adds to your note. Make sure to look up your API Token and replace it with "SECRET" in the template. 

You can find your API Token in the API settings of your account (you need to log in). Scroll to the bottom, create a personal access token and copy the token text:

Template

This is template is a very simple example of how you can get all your open tasks from MeisterTask into NotePlan. Feel free to extend it and get more information out as needed. If you check off tasks in NotePlan they will  not be synced back to MeisterTask in this example.

Add this template to NotePlan by copying the text below, then create a new template in NotePlan's sidebar under "Templates", select all (CMD+A), and paste everything.
