![]() ![]() A crucial part of our belief in privacy (which was established long before GDPR was announced to the public) is full transparency about the inner workings of our company and its products. Here at Mailbutler, we strongly believe that it is the users’ fundamental right to know how their personal data is used any business goals should respect and follow this principle at all times. I am convinced that in some months time people will consider these rights required by GDPR as normal, which would be a great achievement! Even the often cited right-to-be-forgotten is now implemented in more and more services. Big companies, such as Facebook and Apple, are starting to allow full insight into what is actually stored about their users. It’s great to see that the introduction of GDPR now also encourages companies to provide similar means outside of the EU. In times when companies know more about a person’s behavior, wishes and contacts than their own friends, it’s about time to re-think our understanding of data privacy - and that’s what GDPR is all about. It’s still flexible enough for most companies to continue doing what they are doing, but with a more focused approach on respecting their users’ privacy rights. GDPR might seem like a bureaucracy monster at first, but it’s more of a best effort approach. In contrast to many other people in the tech scene, I am convinced that the European approach towards data privacy is an important step forward and is a very strong signal to the world how everyone’s personality rights should be respected. With this first post, I would like to start a new blog series covering different aspects of the Mailbutler system.īut let me start by introducing myself: My name is Fabian and I am the co-founder and CTO of Mailbutler. Not sure how long this has been an option or if its available in earlier versions of Calendar and iCal.Inside out: How Mailbutler respects your privacy Similar to the first method, instead of selecting Open file after choosing Custom for the alert type, you can select Email. The Calendar app lets you send an email as part of an events alert. Edit: Using Calendar without a Automator workflow Now browse to the Automator workflow app from the previous step. From the dropdown, choose Open file, and from the next dropdown, (currently labeled Calendar) select Other. Where we can set an alert, we'll select Custom. Give the event a name and set the time and date as per usual. Open Calendar app (formerly iCal) and choose New from the menubar, or select an existing event to edit. Add the Automator workflow to a new Calendar event Make sure the format is set as Application.Ģ. Once you've composed your message, add the Send Outgoing Mail action to the workflow. Double-click it or drag it to your workflow. Scroll down and you will see the New Mail Message action. Select Mail from the Library pane on the left, and a list of Mail actions will show in the Actions pane to the right. When you see the workflow type chooser, select Application. Create an email workflow using Automatorįirst open Automator app, which is found in the Utilities folder, and choose New Document. Add the Automator workflow to a new Calendar event (formerly iCal)ġ.Create an email workflow using Automator then. ![]() My answer is based on macOS Catalina but it should be practically the same besides some minor differences, placement etc. Mail doesn't have this feature out of the box but you can use your native Mac apps to schedule an email. ![]()
