I'm looking for something somewhat similar to this...
Except what I would like to do is go to a URL for example Urban Dictionary: Random words
And e-mail the results or the word to an e-mail address I could specify.
Thanks,
Brandon

So the workflow would be I trigger the macro.
Hey @DJLunacy,
You shouldn't have to actually go to the website in a browser.
You can extract the text directly with the cURL command line utility like so:
Get Urban Dictionary Random Word of the Day.kmmacros (4.7 KB)
Then you can use Send Mail Message action to send it where you want.
Change the “display in a window ” option in my macro above to save to variable.
Then use that variable in your email action for the message body.

Chris,
That's awesome! Thank You!
One thing I noticed at least with using this approach is it seems to be giving me the same word today. (chat)
I realized when you click the button to generate a new one it does some math, to spit out a URL. I think it's between 1-1,000.
Hey @DJLunacy,
I think you may be able to use a bigger seed number, but you'll have to play with it to see.
I've introduced a random number generator in this one, so you should now get different quotes each time you run the macro.
