Airmail workflow

Added some more search context options: subject and starred. Also adjusted the triggers to keep them shorter and simplier to trigger

The 1.3 update to Airmail seems to have broke the way this workflow worked. I'll work on getting it fixed.

 

 

I know there is a thread going on in the help portion so I figured I'd share my current Airmail workflow. Right now it has two components: new mail and unified search(Big thank you to David Ferguson for helping me with this one).

 

Compose new mail:

Super basic as all it does it switch to Airmail and open a new composer window.

 

Syntax: airmail new

 

Unified Search:

This relies on Applescript and has two caveats: 1. you have to have unified inbox enabled and 2. if the search field is active it wont work

 

Syntax: airmail search {query}

 

 

At some point I plan to make the compose mail workflow more robust and utilize the Airmail Applescript support, and also expand the unified search to check if the search field is active. I'm just on limited time right now but I at least wanted to get what I have out to peope. Feel free to add or help if you want!

Made some small updates to the workflow now that I've started experimenting with some search context. Hoping to figure out more indepth how to trigger each variable (to, from, etc) and potentially work in user account selection so it doesn't always do unified.

Is this workflow still up to date? Can't get it to work...

[frankspin]

I use it with Airmail 2 pretty regulary. Can you describe what's happening?

Changed the workflow a bit so it works with airmail 3 now. Here: https://github.com/dr-adrian/alfred-airmail

Would be awesome to have results be shown right from the alfred prompt. Do you think that would be possible to do?

[dr-adrian]

Could be something added in the future. I only used Alfred for 2 days now , so I'll see how obsessed I get with it going forward 

[teddy-error]

I will begin working on a fully featured workflow for Airmail3.

There is an airmail API that is accessible by invoking the airmail:// protocol like a magnet link. For example:

airmail://message?mail=your_email%40gmail.com&messageid=[MESSAGE_ID_HERE]

will open the application with the message passed through `messageid`

Will post link here when search feature is implemented. I am not sure yet how I will go about retrieving matched requests, so feel free to post your insights

@dr-adrian the moment I type space after "mailn" it switches to offering google etc ..

 

Any idea why ?

It's a keyword with no arguments. You just have to hit enter with no spaces and the compose window will open.

I did that yesterday but it wasn't doing anything, but I found the issue.

I just upgraded from airmail 2 to 3 but the app was still called airmail 2 in the folder.

 

Fixed, thanx

Any Roadmap for 3.0?
Thanks!

Is this workflow still compatible with Airmail 4?
