# Trigger for Private Posts?

 * Hello. I was wondering if is possible to automatically set a post as private 
   when a certain string is encountered in the post text. I’d like to post entries
   through a standalone application, but the app offers no way to set a post as 
   private.
 * ie: I was hoping I could type something like [private] to have the entire post
   be made such.
 * Any help or comments would be much appreciated.
