I would like to make a macro that makes macros.
My use case is adding buttons to a StreamDeck that move emails to specific folders. (Happens to be in IBM/Lotus Notes but that’s immaterial.)
I have manually set up three such buttons and macros - and they follow a pattern - both in the title of the macro and one typed string action.
This is manual and my list of folders is dynamic.
So is there a good discussion on how to automate building a macro, probably from a template (XML?)
Maybe not “good” discussions, but related:
Hello Martin,
I have a very similar use case. For my case, I use the Mac Citrix Viewer to log into my Windows workstation at work. We use Outlook 2016 but I think our situations are similar. I receive approx 150 emails per day and dragging and dropping emails to their appropriate folders got to be a chore so I understand your troubles. I have over 400 products that I have to maneuver through and they can be active or inactive based on where the product is in the lifecycle. Anyway, I have a macro that creates the filing macro for each of the products. I have a template folder called Mail Template and I use a mcname variable to input the name of the product for filing. Even though I have a Stream Deck, I mainly use a floating palette that houses about 100 active products. So either I'm pressing the product name or I'm using voice commands to file for me. But saying that, I do have the Mail Macro as a StreamDeck button.
This is what the macro does. Hopefully, you will understand how this process will work for you. It can be done for your situation.

Can you share this macro brother...
I want to edit it and use it in my workflow as well.
