Transfer systems automatically regardless of their sources

Our clients enter campaigns into a SharePoint page that need to be transferred to our CMS. Unfortunately the two systems are not tied in any way and there are no existing API Web Services that we can leverage.

There are over 250 items that might be selected which means we end up taking a lot of time to, manually, transfer the campaigns.

I wrote a script with AutoHotKey that automates much of the process (as well as replacing Unicode values with their HTML equivalents).  This allows me to transfer systems automatically with very little effort!

This saves a TON of mundane time by performing web scraping with AutoHotkey and is more reliable than doing it manually.

AutoHotKey script for automatically calculating X days out

A friend of mine works in manufacturing and is constantly having to determine the future date (e.g. 22 , 36, or 69 days out) and can be tedious if looking at a calendar (especially if it goes across months.)

I wrote a simple AutoHotKey script which returns the date for a given projected calculating X days out.  After saving the below as an AutoHotKey script, run it and an input box will come up asking how far you would like to project.  After you enter a number it will send the date that day falls on to the active editor window.  Now projecting x days out is a breeze!

Here is the AHK code:

 
InputBox, UserInput, Daysout, How many days out?, , 170, 125
if ErrorLevel
  Return
else
  Date :=""
  Date +=UserInput, Days
  FormatTime, nDate, %Date%, MM/dd/yyyy
  SendInput, %nDate% ;sends date to where focus is 
Return
