Question

Hello,
I'd like to be able to select a large number of photos in finder then have automator send each one in a single email to an account. Is that possible?

Answer 1

you can do it as follows
make the following workflow
1. get selected (or specified) finder items
2. run apple script
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_item in input
tell application "Mail"
activate
set NewOne to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"whatever you want here", content:"and whatever you want here", visible:true}
tell NewOne
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
tell content of NewOne
make new attachment with properties {file name:this_item} at after last paragraph
end tell
end tell
send NewOne
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end run</pre>
modify the above as neede. If you want the whole process to happen in background remove visible:true form the script. also, you might want to insert a line
delay 5
before
end repeat
to allow Mail time to send. the delay is in seconds and can be adjusted.
