It’s just been pointed out to me that if you look in
/Applications/Messages.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/
you’ll find a whole bunch of .applescript files for use with Messages.
Has anyone here had any experience of deploying them, and if so, could you provide a sample workflow?
I’m surprised these are in .applescript format. Is Messages itself going to compile and execute these?
I found this from like a decade ago:
But i’m not sure whether these are still usable in Sierra.
Yes Phil.
I use the AppleScript Handler to automate different chats.
In this forum and AppleScript mailing list, I have created a post with no response at the moment.
I have deployed the script and it works with a bug (I think) that I have reported to Apple.
And yes, .applescript format.
In my opinion, there´s lack of info with AppleScript handler for Messages.app.
Thanks for the reply, Alberto.
Yes, to my surprise, Messages is compiling and executing its own AppleScripts.
My user was actually trying to implement a screen sharing session using the auto accept script, but as I discovered after a bit of digging, that was only ever available in iChat:
This handler didn’t get included in Messages, so problem ‘resolved’ in the sense that, it can’t be done.
Sorry, I don’t have any insight on the problem you mention.
