In org-mode, I have a custom agenda set with:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("d" "todo"
               agenda ""
               ((org-agenda-span 1)
        (org-agenda-start-day "-0d")
                (org-agenda-start-with-log-mode '(closed))
        ))
    ))

I can call it with C-c a d.

I want to call it programmatically. The documentation offers passing an argument:

(org-agenda &optional ARG ORG-KEYS RESTRICTION)

Dispatch agenda commands to collect entries to the agenda buffer. Prompts for a command to execute. Any prefix arg will be passed on to the selected command. The default selections are:

a Call ‘org-agenda-list’ to display the agenda for current day or week.

I tried:

(org-agenda "a")

and get the same prompt as if I had run (org-agenda). So I don't know how to proceed to the next step of selecting the custom agenda (the "d" after the "a").

How can I call this custom agenda programmatically?

I found the answer in Is there a way to start org-mode agenda with a custom search? :

(org-agenda nil "d")

  • @NickD I don't have enough reputation to close it and voted to do so. I couldn't find that thread initially with an online search, only after writing the question, therefore I decided to publish this thread.
