Compose and Send iMessages via Alfred

[adamp64]

So basically you type in to Alfred something like "send message to Steve" ("Steve" would be just an example for a name in your contacts) and then a compose message box comes up for you to type in the body of text for the messages.

 

This allows you to send iMessages very quickly and efficiently.

This can be pretty easily accomplished with a workflow. This is the one I use.. After you import it, go to Features->Contacts and click the + to add a custom action. For the Contact field, select Phone and then for the action, select iMessage Phone Number.

 

After you have this set up, search for the contact in Alfred, press Enter to see the Contact card for that contact, then select their phone number and press enter.

Check out the workflow "iM" by Nolan Chan, it's more direct imo.
