Love sending texts from my Mac... I'd like to touch a button that
opens the Messages app,
command-n (new message),
enter Husband - in the To: (recipients) field.
I can type the actual message myself
Thanks,
-Ashley
(if the answer is to use Applescript, can someone write that for me?)
The Message app is a Catalyst app. It's very difficult to write UI Scripts for this.
You can trial this AppleScript (Bug Sur - testet on a German system).
Set the Phone number or Email address at the first line of the Script.
set messageTo to "+1 408-996-1010" -- Phone number or Email address
tell application "Messages"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Messages"
set endDate to (current date) + 3
repeat
try
if (count of windows) is 0 then
key code 29 using command down
delay 0.2
else
key code 45 using command down
tell window 1
set value of text field 1 of group 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of group 3 of group 1 of group 1 of group 1 of group 2 of group 1 of group 1 of group 1 of group 1 of group 1 of group 1 to messageTo
end tell
key code 36
key code 48
exit repeat
end if
on error
delay 0.2
end try
if ((current date) > endDate) then
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
