From the docs:
Text the beebot using the format goalname date value “optional comment” to add data to a goal. For example, this will update your weight graph with a value of 150 on the 20th of the current month: weight 20 150 “today I weighed 150.”
Is there a way to do this while omitting the date, so the data point is added for the current timestamp without needing to modify the text of the message each time?
The traditional shortcut for ‘today’ is the caret: ^. Definitely works for the email version of beebot, so it probably works with the SMS beebot too.
Just searched help for words like ‘caret’ and ‘yesterday’ and eventually found this shortcut documented: What is my data? - Beeminder Help
That page says that it works for all the data entry methods. Tagging @shanaqui as they might want to update the SMS (and other) dedicated pages with the tricks link.
