Title: Macro/Canned Email
Post by: jharbin on February 13, 2017, 06:50:13 pm

I've been an AquaMail user for a few years now and love the maturation of the program over the years!

Question... I would like to create an icon on my home screen that I can click and it would send a canned email... for example:  I want to send a support email to my staff when I get notification that a system has gone down, so when I click on the icon on my home screen, it sends a message to: my team. subject: my subject, body: my message and automatically sends it.

Is there any way to have AquaMail do this, either built in, or with another Android helper app?

Thanks!

Jim

I can only say that it's not a feature currently in AquaMail.

The app does have a "quick response" feature, but it's in the menu on the compose screen, and there is no way to make a home screen shortcut.

Now if there is a tool to make home screen icons and assign Android Intent objects to them -- those Intents have standard "action"'s and "extra"'s and Aqua Mail does process them.
