I've been trying to automate the process of sending emails on Mail app, using the contact information from Daylite. I recored the process and created the macro, but it's not working properly when trying to run it.
In Daylite, I have a list of contacts I would like to send the email to and the template. After choosing one of the contacts and the template I'm using, the email composing screen automatically pops up from Mail app.
I recorded the process below:
Activate Daylite
Click one of the contacts in Daylite
Click "Write Letter in Daylite"
Choose the template and Click "Merge"
A new email window automatically pops up
Click and "Send" the email
But when trying to run the macro, Keyboardmaestro doesn't send the email and instead opens the email in my inbox, opens one of the drafts.... or do something else in Mail app randomly.
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? Thank you!
Almost always with recorded events you will need to add appropriate Pause actions between the events. This is particularly important any time there is a change of focus (ie, the current insertion point moves to somewhere else) or especially an animation.
Add a 1 second pause between each action, and then that will also allow you to see where the clicks are and what happens and that will let you see where things go wrong.
When it is all working, you can consider reducing or eliminating some of the pauses to speed up the macro (if desired).
