Making a goal integery

Tech

Here are instructions for how to integery-ize your goals manually.

For example, I have an online lesson I want to complete once a week. When I make a Beeminder goal for this, the top of my goalpage looks like this:

After making the goal integery, it will look like this:

To make this change, simply follow the instructions below:

  1. Go to https://reqbin.com/

  2. Select PUT from the dropdown.

  3. For the url, enter: https://www.beeminder.com/api/v1/users/USERNAME/goals/GOALNAME.json?auth_token=YOURAUTHTOKEN

  4. Replace USERNAME in the above string with your username, GOALNAME with the goal you want to integery-ize, and YOURAUTHTOKEN with your authorization token found on the API tab here: https://www.beeminder.com/settings/account#account-permissions

  5. Click Content. Select FORM URL Encoded from the dropdown. In the big box, type ‘integery=true’ (without quotes).
    Note: you can also enter ‘integery=false’ to undo this.

  6. Click SEND, and then refresh your goal page. Enjoy!
    Note: it may take up to 30 seconds to see your goal changed

Please let me know you have any problems.

Ah sorry you fell into this trap. My auto integery setup did break and I should have updated the thread. I never figured out what the problem was, but I don’t make new goals anymore either so I probably never will.
