#Os x mail client call applescript when email recieved how to#
You can embed this AppleScript within an Automator workflow, or save it as an application for double-clicking.Guy Hart-Davis is the author of Mac OS X Leopard QuickSteps, How to Do Everything: iPod, iPhone, & iTunes, HTML, XHTML & CSS QuickSteps, and several other equally fine computer books.Ībout the Technical Editor Greg Kettell is a Windows programmer by day, but by night loves his Mac. The final AppleScript combines the content of any selected e-mails and prepares an outgoing e-mail ready for sending. Here are some resources and snippets to help you craft your ideal script. This is certainly possible with AppleScript. Is it possible, and if so how, to automate copying the message body of a specific group of emails and pasting all of the text into one new email, and have it addressed accordingly and sent? The goal is for this guy to sit at his computer Tuesday mornings, select the emails in question (unless there's a way to script it so the correct messages are selected automatically) then run the script/service/application (via keyboard shortcut or a dock icon, both of which I can handle) and be done w/ it? I've found scripts for copying, scripts for pasting, and (on an older version of OS x, 10.6 maybe) even found an action in Automator that compiled the text from selected messages (in Mail) into one new message.but sadly it just won't run on more modern versions of the OS (specifically 10.8 and 10.9). I've already set up rules so the specific emails get moved to a designated box (thinking that that would make identifying the correct messages for the script/automation easier), and my next step was automating the.collation of these messages and creating and sending the new single message to the boss.and that's where things have stalled. (For the record I fully understand that there are countless better ways to do this and that it is laughable.but that's not my battle and it's how he was instructed to do it, so I'm just trying to make it easier for him.) Once he has this new, all-inclusive email, he then sends that to his supervisor. Once each of these emails come in Monday night/Tuesday morning he then manually copies the text from each of them then pastes it into another email one at a time, thus composing one email w/ all of the content from each of the others.
So he's asked them all to use a very simple format (no greeting, no salutation, nothing but the actual content they have to report). Project Manager at work has been tasked w/ gathering info from several specific employees (managers) each week regarding what their respective teams have been working on (and what progress has been made) and have scheduled for the coming week (this whole endeavor happens every Tuesday).
I've been trying to help a coworker automate a weekly email compilation he sends out but haven't yet been able to figure out how address a few specific areas.first I'll explain the situation, then the goal.
