Mail (El Capitan): Use scripts as rule actions
You can attach an AppleScript script to a Mail rule. For example, you could have an incoming message trigger a script that copies information from the message and pastes it into a database that works with Script Editor.
-
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
-
Select an existing rule to edit, then click Edit. Or click Add to create a rule.
-
Choose Run AppleScript from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
-
Choose a script from the pop-up menu of scripts that are located in ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail. Or choose “Open in Finder” to open the folder so you can copy a script into it.
If you later move or rename the script, your rule will not work.
-
Click OK to save the rule.
If you used scripts in Mail rules in OS X Lion or earlier, then the first time you open Mail in OS X Mountain Lion or later, your scripts are moved to ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail, and your rules are updated with the new location. To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
If you use iCloud Drive, your rules are available on your other Mac computers that have iCloud Drive turned on. Scripts attached
