Hi, On receiving SMS I want to send an email to the sender.
Email, so sender are few less than ten and all in Contact.
When SMS arrive (Trigger) I want to look for the email address and paste it In Message (using UI)
How can that be done.

I made a macro that acquires a phone number when receiving an SMS, searches the contact book based on the phone number, acquires an email address, and sends an email. Please try it.

I Dimlos I am very happy with macro . Now I come back because I would like to extract the phone number out of contact knowing Name as it appear in Whatsapp notification {not_title}. I try my best to do that extraction but my little competence and the lack of doc about Contacts Task plugin makes me helpless.
Can someone point me to a document or the best do the macro for me.
Thanks.

If you want to search for a phone number by name, I think it would be something like this.

@ Dimlos thank for reply . I grab name from a Whatsapp Notif ( not_title for fiirsname and family name) I assume that search_result will contain data about that name picked out of contacts. I have a lv SenderName fill up with not_title that is all, nothing into lv search_result .
Even if I get a reuslt, hard thing is to make regex exp to extract the phone number. The one give me before is impressive!
Could you please go thru thid help. thanks

@xavmd
I am sorry, but WhatsApp is not widely used in my country and I do not have an account.
Also, I could not build it as a macro because I expect the format of phone numbers to be different in different countries.

If you provide such information with your personal information hidden, someone might be able to help you.

@ Dimlos Thank to help. Finaly after numerous test I manage to make Contacts Task doing my goal:
MD search contacts Action, search criter %myvar for name then Phone list to var search_result
then MD text manipulation Action: Extract text({lv=search_result},([+][0-9-()]+) save to var phone
