Use AppleScript to send notification

[smithjw]

Ok, so I'm getting stuck using an embedded AppleScript to send an email via Sparrow in the background. I've got this so far

Code: Select all

tell application "Sparrow"
   set newNotification to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"New Episode Downloaded", content:"Hello Christina,
   I've takent the liberty of downloading theFile for you. Enjoy"}
   tell newNotification
      make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"smithjw@me.com"}
   end tell
   sendmessage newNotification
end tell

The email sends perfectly but I would like "theFile" to display the filename of what Hazel passes to it. Hope someone can help . Really need to brush up on my AppleScript

You're sending the variable "theFile" as a string. I don't have sparrow to test, but this should work:

Code: Select all

tell application "Sparrow"
   set newNotification to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"New Episode Downloaded", content:"Hello Christina,
   I've takent the liberty of downloading " & theFile & " for you. Enjoy"}
   tell newNotification
      make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"smithjw@me.com"}
   end tell
   sendmessage newNotification
end tell
