![]() ![]() It’s good to see Readdle expanding Spark integrations beyond its apps. For example, you could send a link to an email message to a task manager, retrieve it later from within your task list, open an attached PDF form, fill it out and sign it with PDF Expert, and then use the share sheet to store a copy in the iOS 11 Files app and return a copy to the sender via Spark. Some interesting workflow possibilities will open up when third-party integrations are added to Spark for iOS. It’s easy to mark up a PDF you receive with an email message and return the revised document to the sender. The PDF Expert functionality lets users quickly open, edit, annotate, and sign PDF attachments in PDF Expert and then just as easily return to Spark with a reply open for editing and the file attached. Meanwhile, Readdle has added tight integration with PDF Expert to Spark for iOS and the option to lock the app behind Touch ID. That said, exporting messages worked well overall in my testing, except for one long, complex email newsletter I tried to send to Todoist, which returned an error.įor now, the new third-party integrations are included with Spark macOS-only, but Readdle is working to bring them to iOS soon. While I would prefer if images or links were exported too, the inclusion of a link that opens the original email message almost instantly makes that less of an issue than it would otherwise be. ![]() Links and images in the body of an email message were not added to the apps I tried except for Evernote and Trello, where those items are preserved in the attached PDF file, but not the body of the Trello card. One limitation of Spark’s system is that it exports text only in most cases. Spark for macOS includes 11 third-party integrations. If you export the full message, the body text is included as an attached note or comment. One nice touch is that Spark links the original message to the command ‘Open email in Spark,’ which is tidier than the long URLs I get when I add an Airmail link to another app. In either case, the subject of the message becomes the title of the item in the destination app, and a link back to the Spark message is included. With each, you can export the full text of an email message or just a link back to the original message. I tried exporting messages to Apple Reminders, Todoist, 2Do, OmniFocus, Trello, Evernote, and Bear. For example, in addition to exporting the message, the Todoist integration lets you pick a due date and assign a project, while Trello lets you pick among all of your boards and lists and attaches a PDF to the Trello card. ![]() What can be exported varies depending on the destination app or service. The interface of each integration is designed to complement the design of the destination app. Readdle has built custom export integrations into its macOS email app that let you send the text of messages or links to the messages to Apple Reminders, Things, 2Do, OmniFocus, Wunderlist, Todoist, Trello, Asana, Evernote, OneNote, and Bear. Today, Spark 1.4 for macOS takes another step further into professional app territory with the addition of several useful integrations with third-party apps, while Spark 1.9 for iOS adds deep PDF Expert support and other functionality. ![]() Just a few weeks ago, Readdle significantly improved search in its popular macOS email client. ![]()
