I created the following macro which:
- Opens Gmail in the browser
- It specifies the sender because I can send from several accounts
- It types the email address in the ‘To’ field
- It enters an subject for the email
- It types ‘Hi John, this is just a template’ in the body
- It sends the email by pressing CMD+ENTER
Problem
It’s not entering the text in the body
This is the HTML when the email is empty:
This is the HTML after I ran the macro:
This is the HTML when I type the text manually – right way to do it:
the following screenshot shows a different id (id=":vn") because I refreshed the page. don’t pay attention to the different id.
It looks like that <div dir="ltr"> is making the difference. Any way to fix it?
