One button to email self speech

Hi all, I have a oneplus Nord CE.
On my old phone I'd created a widget button on the home screen which when pressed enabled me to speak and have that speech turned into the subject line of an email which would then auto email to myself. This is because I use emails to my Gmail as a task list. I've downloaded macro droid onto my new phone and can't for the life of me remember how I built the original macro. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

You probably used voice input action.
It allows you to save said sentence into variable.
Then you used send email action where you used variable from earlier as a mail's subject.

Thanks @Brush ! That's what I think I'ver been trying but I can't make it work again. Is there any notation you could suggest that would help me input those commands?

You start with a whatever trigger you like.
And actions...
Voice input - here you select variable that will be used to store whatever you've said. If you don't have one created, thats where you can create one too.
After that you can follow up with 'wait before next action - 1s' and send email action.
Make sure you configured send email action in macrodroid's settings.
And since you want macrodroid to send the phrase you've just said as a subject when configuring send email action, you click subject and at the top of your screen there are three dots (closer to the middle, not these on right), click them and find on the list your variable you used earlier. It might be under global variable if you created global one or under local variable. Put the email you want it to be sent to (yours in this case)
And thats it
