I think that can be done by extending alert.el package (which org-alert is based on). alert.el allows the user to define custom alert styles, including sending sms or email. >> I agree that org-agenda has many issues that cannot be easily solved >> because of its complexity.

Not really. Searching in org-ql is made very intuitive - just like you would search in google. There are multiple interactive commands: - helm-org-ql :: The user simply types search keywords and the commands shows all the matching headlines. For example, user can type "headline:Doe call todo:WAIT tags:invoice" and get all kinds of matches as he/she types - org-ql-view :: shows the menu for different pre-customised searches like "Calendar: This week" or "Overview: NEXT tasks" > Example of lack of integration would be to tell to user to simply > construct the link in the form: [[Here][Link]] and that alone would > require some thinking and learning. There is also (slower) helm-org (https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm-org) offering similar interface to helm-org-ql, but also adding an option to do various actions with the selected tasks, like inserting correctly formatted link. The same can be done in helm-org-ql. I think the author plans to extend that command in the near future. Or one can add extra actions as needed - it is trivial to do in helm. > Good integration for org-ql would be a wizard that can add to the list > of various queries and offers users various ways to search such as > searching by headline, tags, or having both tags involved, date, > deadlines and so on. All these are already available. The user can search tags:tag1,tag2,..., headline:word1,word2 (or shortly hl:word1,...), scheduled:on=today, deadline:from=-7,to=2020-12-01 Best, Ihor
