2015-07-29: Version 2 released   MailTo: Select multiple Contacts and/or Groups, and compose in your favourite email app   Search your Contacts and compose an email to one or more recipients (or none)

Updated again today with new configuration/help keywords to stop them getting mixed up with the contact search results.

Alfred is already incredibly helpful on its own, but workflows such as yours make it even more unbelievable. Thanks for your work! Just wondering if there's a way to segregate emails by To: Cc: and B

The problem appears to be related to Smart Groups. On my Macs (El Capitan and Sierra), the API doesn't return them at all. In any case, your Smart Groups won't show up in MailTo.

Tour fonctionne parfaitement maintenant avec la version 2.1.4.

:blink:

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide.

Are you sure? Did you check the log file for errors?

 

The contacts are cached, and it's possible the old version is just using the old cached contacts. The cached contacts are only replaced if the update script succeeds. So MailTo should continue to work, but new contacts or changes won't be noticed.

 

In view of the error in your log file, I wouldn't expect any version older than v2.3 (the one I just uploaded) to correctly read your contacts.

Êtes-vous sûr? Avez-vous vérifié le fichier journal des erreurs?

 

Les contacts sont mises en cache, et il est possible que l'ancienne version est juste en utilisant les anciens contacts mises en cache. Les contacts ne sont mises en cache remplacées si le script de mise à jour réussit. Alors mailto devrait continuer à travailler, mais de nouveaux contacts ou les changements ne seront pas remarqué.

 

Compte tenu de l'erreur dans votre fichier journal, je ne s'attendre à une version antérieure à v2.3 (celui que je viens uploadé) pour lire correctement vos contacts.

Mises à jour réalisée vers 2.3, création d'un contact "test", tout fonctionne, suppression du contact" test" , ça marche nickel.

Merci

Yup.

Adding cc/bcc and webmail support are next on the list. I'm currently stuck in the middle of a Searchio! rewrite, however.

That has to come first because the rewrite is currently 10% working, and I really, really need that workflow…

 

Any chance you could add cc/bcc functionality? I have another feature request that I guess is easier to implement, sometimes I want to add a group of people to a mail I'm currently composing, it would then be very nice to be able to use MailTo to find a group and copy the names/email-addresses as plain text that can be copied into the composer window. This may be useful for other purposes too, e.g. when compiling maillists in a document etc.

Hi Deanishe, I've read the help site and messed around a bit. I came to the conclusion that "mailto" doesn't currently pull in outlook contacts, it's only from the native app or a few others like gmail. Can you confirm? 

 

I'm sure there are others who have pretty extensive work email data bases that might not exist in their apple contacts app, so not being able to tap into the outlook contacts makes it pretty difficult to use most of the workflow functionality. I did try syncing outlook and apple contacts, but the tool (syncmate) didn't really capture most of the emails so I'm out of idea.

 

Is this a feature you would look to include in the future?

 

Thank you!

Hi @Deanishe - I love the mailto workflow. I get the option to start a new mail when typing @ but when I enter a letter of an email address I get google search and not my contacts. What can I do?

 

Found it - need to press@ and tab to be able to search for names in contacts.

I can't help you if you can't give me something more concrete to work with than "not working".

 

Many thanks – and apologies, figured I would first check to see if this was only a problem on my side, or being seen by others! 

What would be best? Should I copy in the debugging(?) report?

The error message says the workflow is failing to run Microsoft Outlook.

 

Do you still have Outlook?

 

In any case, go into the workflow’s settings (keyword mailto), use “Force Reload” to update the list of email apps on your system, then change the email client to something else. Then change it back to Outlook if you still have it.

Many thanks.

 

I do still have Outlook, and am running it as my default application.

Just ran the "Force Reload", which worked as expected. Changed to Mail.app (confirmed via notification) – ran the workflow, and same issue.

Changed back to Outlook, and no difference.

You've forgotten the closing single quote.

Silly me – it gives back the following: `The file /Users/goldfish/mailto:John Cleese <sillywalks@theministry.net> does not exist.`

 

Just updating MS Outlook currently, figured I would check if that could make a difference.

That said, Mail.app also didn't work, so not sure if something else to blame. 

Edit: MS Outlook now on V 16.51.21071101, and no change.

Huh. Looks like URL handling has changed. Try this:

 

open -b com.microsoft.Outlook 'mailto:John%20Cleese%20%3Csillywalks%40theministry.net%3E'

 

That works! 😀

So, that needs to be changed in the underlying script, correct?

There's a configuration file called client_rules.json in the workflow.

 

Change "names" from true to false on line 78 in the MS Outlook config.

Ok – many thanks – I think I will be able to make that change, but could you clarify where I would find the file in question?

 

Running a search for "client_rules.json" brings up hits in my backups of "old" workflows, but nothing seemingly related to the current workflow?

Could you kindly explain where I would begin to look?

 

EDIT: Apologies, was being silly. Didn't realise I could right click on the workflow, to show in Finder. 

Will tinker with it now, and see if I get it working. 

 

EDIT: Solved. Thanks a bunch!
