As a self-employed person I need to follow up phone-calls, leads, … But I don't need a fullblown CRM. So I wrote a tiny AppleScript that allows me to create an event for a contact straight from Address Book.
If I click the phone-number of the person the menu as shown in the image above appears.
When I click on "Schedule event for Tijs Verkoyen" a new event is created the following day at 09h00, with a direct link to the contact. And iCal is opened where the event is selected so I can alter it directly.
Howto install?
- Download the script.
- Extract and put the script in ~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins (create the folder if needed).
- Create a calendar called "Contacts" in iCal.
- Restart Address Book.

Excellent! I have been searching all over for a simple CRM because contacts didn't have this feature. This is great. I would like to find out if it could be enhanced to open a dialogue box to schedule the time and day instead of the default.
