| description | Send emails through the macOS Mail app using AppleScript. Use when a task requires composing or sending email via Mail.app (including to/cc/bcc, subject, body, or attachments), or when the user asks for Mail app automation or osascript-based email sending. |
Mail.app Send Email
Overview
Use the bundled AppleScript to compose and optionally send Mail.app messages with structured inputs (to/cc/bcc/subject/body/attachments).
Quick Start
Run the AppleScript via osascript with --to, --subject, and --body. Pass comma-separated lists for multiple recipients or attachments.
osascript /Users/ivancampos/.codex/skills/mailapp-send-email/scripts/send_mail.applescript \
--to "test@test.com" \
--subject "hello" \
--body "testing"
Inputs
Use these flags. Only --to, --subject, and --body are required.
--to single email or comma-separated list--cc optional comma-separated list--bcc optional comma-separated list--subject subject line--body message body--attach optional comma-separated POSIX file paths--send optional true|false (default true, send immediately)
Behavior
- Create a new outgoing message in Mail.app.
- By default send immediately. If
--send false, leave the draft visible for review.
- If
--attach is provided, add each file path as an attachment.
Troubleshooting
- If Mail.app automation prompts appear, grant permissions in System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Automation.
- If attachments fail, ensure paths are absolute POSIX paths and the files exist.
