OH JEESH! So... when I changed the email address using the Alfred workflow editor, the leading " changed to a fancy quote: on alfred_script(q) tell application "System Events" -- Trigger reply keystroke "r" delay 0.5 -- Focus cc: field, type email keystroke "c" using {command down, shift down} keystroke “new-email@domain.com" -- Return, tab, tab key code 36 key code 48 key code 48 end tell end alfred_script Which of course doesn't result in any VISIBLE error, just nothing happening with the entire script. How do I turn off the change from " to fancy quotes that happens there? Thanks for the help, guys! Rick

It's not delays as far as I can tell... I simplified it down to this: on alfred_script(q) delay 2.5 tell application "System Events" keystroke “reply@thrivingnow.com" end tell end alfred_script I tried this in Chrome anyplace, and also in TextWrangler. There is no reaction at all from the system. No pop-up, nothing. I am wondering whether my new machine has some security issue blocking things. I read this article: http://www.macosxautomation.com/mavericks/guiscripting/index.html And I went to Security and allowed AppleScript Editor, Applescript Utility -- they had been off. This made no difference in behavior, alas. Dragged and dropped Alfred 2.app -- activated that there, and also no change in behavior. Changed around hotkeys again, and still... nothing anywhere. Hmmm.... any other clues or things I might test? Thanks so much... Rick

All three steps above, yes. I even remapped to your hotkey. Conversation selected. Press hotkey and nothing. So weird... I hadn't run any other workflows so I created one from the example to use a hotkey to open a URL in the default browser. Worked perfectly. I wonder whether there is an nsapplescript issue where it just isn't getting run. Admittedly, I am poking in the dark. Rick

The script makes total sense to me, and fit along the lines I was experimenting with. AND, I cannot get it to trigger. Workflow has line connected. Tried all kinds of different trigger keys, f7, Command-F7, Ctrl-Shift-C, whatever. Nothing occurs. I can use snippets fine... Just doesn't seem to send keystrokes. This is a Mavericks machine. New. Not sure if there are any settings somewhere I need to tweak to allow the applescript to send keystrokes? Thank you so much for the draft. At least I know it isn't just my code <smile> Rick

Hi Tyler, My email addresses have been out on the internet long enough that I am virtually on every spam list known to man and machine. So I don't even think about it. I removed it to make for a more suitable example. Very little spam makes it all the way to my gmail inbox, though.... Any ideas on the workflow? Thanks, Rick

Hi! I admit I am new to Mac and Alfred. Rather than using something like Keyboard Maestro, I've already bought Alfred and just need this: I'd like to press a hotkey (so hotkey initiated workflow I believe) and have it: Send r to gmail to reply to the message Delay for the reply window to appear Press Command-Shift-c to go to the cc: field Enter example-email@domain.com in that field Enter, Tab Tab to return to the editing window I've looked at some of the other applescript workflows here, and I just can't get anything to activate. Running Maverick on new Macbook pro 13 retina Thanks for any tips that you can offer! Rick
