New action item Airmail premium

I have searched her forums and not seen anything directly on this topic so I apologize if this is a repeat. Recently airmail announced their premium service which included agenda as a support app via their extensive sharing. However I have been unsuccessful in doing anything other then it opening the agenda app. I have contacted Airmail support and they have not even been able to tell me what should happen. Is it the X call back link for the mail or is it to populate the notes/text from the email? Basically I was told as a premium number for Airmail they would look into it so itā€™s Useless. Has anyone successfully used this integration which came out just a few weeks ago? Can anyone on the agenda support team comment as to what actions are supposed to occur from Airmail since they cannot tell me? Thanks

I sent AirMail a question asking exactly what the Agenda feature was but havenā€™t received an answer. Anyone have any idea?

I can see the Agenda Action but it doesnā€™t appear to do anything except open Agenda :thinking:

*** UPDATE ***

I figured it outā€¦ You need to create a project called ā€œUntitled ā€œand then Airmail will put a message in that project :+1:t2:

Great to hear you got it to work, I wasnā€™t aware or this feature, they didnā€™t mention anything to us. Now that it works, can you show again what it does precisely?

I tried that again and still all that happened was the Agenda app opening. Would love to hear what it did.

Hereā€™s a video guys. Hope it helps as it really isnā€™t clear from AirMail other than the pop up saying it will put your message into the ā€œUntitledā€ project.

Ah so it creates a note with the content of the email, does it also insert a link that would bring you back to the email in Airmail?

Yup. The link is at the bottom of the note.

You have to create a project ā€žUntitledā€œ first. In my opinion itā€˜s not really a ā€žPremiumā€œ feature because you canā€˜t even choose the project and mail-attachments are not supportet. Airmail is normally more powerful than that.

Without the Premium account you can just create a ā€žCustom Actionā€œ an choose ā€žopen urlā€œ and put this in

agenda://x-callback-url/create-note?project-title=Inbox&title=%5Bmessage_subject%5D%20(email)&text=From%3A%20%5Bmessage_sender_name%5D%20%3C%5Bmessage_sender%5D%3E%0ATo%3A%20%5Bmessage_to%5D%0A___%0A%5Bmessage_simplified_body%5D%0A___%0A%5Bmessage_linkback%5D%0A%23email&on-the-agenda=true&date=today

I have a project called ā€žInboxā€œ, but one can change the name of the project-title at the beginning of the x-callback-url. I think with Appleā€˜s workflow-app it must be possible to create a workflow where you can choose the project and maybe add attachments.

Thanks @jowarn thatā€™s helpful.

Seems strange that Airmail would charge for a ā€œpremiumā€ feature involving someone elseā€™s app without coordination or perhaps testing?

Hmmā€¦ I use Airmail a lot and I have seen they have recently launched the Premium version, mentioning either Agenda, but speaking in general, Airmail has potentially a lot of interesting features but it is even full of bugsā€¦ So, not sure it could be very useful as integration with Agenda.

Apparently this isnā€™t even available on the Mac Airmail (at least I couldnā€™t find it) and I canā€™t get it to work on my iPhone either. It opens Agenda into the untitled note and adds nothing. Iā€™m wondering about the secret to success.

I initially just tried adding an untitled project within an existing Category and that did not work. What I ultimately did to finally get it working was to create a new category with an on title project. For some strange reason that made all the difference. After I got it working I just renamed the category and box and left the project untitled. See the picture below.

Correct, itā€™s not on the Mac yetā€¦

Thank you @m3dbmus that was very helpful.
Iā€™ve written 10 times to Airmail support without getting any further on the integration between Airmail and Agenda. No wonder their ratings has crashed after they introduced subscription Payment.
