Email from a specific gmail account?

[Sootica]

Hi there,

 

Context: I have a work (google suite) and a personal gmail accounts. I use chrome, and I'm usually logged in to Chrome using my personal account. But I would usually have two tabs open, one logged into my personal account, the other logged into my work one.  

 

Problem: When I try to send email (the built in contacts feature) from Alfred, it launches with my personal account only, and not my work address.

 

Question: How do I ask Alfred to send from my work address?

 

Thank you so much!

Chrome is choosing which account to send it from, not Alfred.

 

Unless Chrome has a setting (which it doesn't appear to have), I can think of two possibilities:

1. Create a custom Contact Action and use scripting to pass the mailto: URL to a specific Chrome profile. (I've no idea if this actually works.)
2. Use Epichrome to create a site-specific browser for your business email and set that as your default email client.
