Extract email subject and text

[Gordon3]

Hi guys

I am new to macrodroid and am having issues with a thought.

I was trying to setup a macro to:
- copy the number in the subject line and paste to phone number section of the messaging
- copy the body of the email until this sign "~" and paste to sms messaging

I cannot get it to work

I know I need two variables (the number and the message).

I can get it to open Gmail, but cannot get it to select the top most email, or even do any of the other things. Would appreciate some help?

Are you using the Mailtask plugin?

 

[Gordon3]

Thanks for a prompt reply!

Re: MailTask: I just downloaded the plugin. Let me try poke about now

MailTask - Apps on Google Play

MailTask is a Tasker plugin to manage emails from Tasker

Sorry I'm so slow on this

Hi guys. I tried to work on this - I have got MailTask and the variables. But it's still not working.

I get the message "Message failed to sent" (from the messaging app - not from MacroDroid). What am I not doing? Thanks!

Have you given the messaging app the necessary permissions?

 

[Gordon3]

Thanks for replying mate! I've given permission to messaging on Settings > Apps > MacroDroid. Is there more I should be doing? I only have one messaging app. Do I need to specify? Also, I did notice that the error I got was Message not sent 0:0 which I wonder means that I've parsed something wrongly?

Try using the value of the phone # and message variables directly, instead of using the "String Value" option:


See the "{lv=...}" instead of "{strval=...}"...

That "strval=" option attempts to convert a string into a number, which might be confusing your SMS app.
