Day One email script

[charlieegan3]

I use day one as a journal for fun, I use sparrow for my emails.

What I want to be able to do is write a script that will do the following:

>run every-time mail is synced

if any of the new emails have subject line: [Journal Entry]
-copy the message body to the clipboard
-create a new entry in Day One
-Paste in the clipboard contents
end

is that going to work? if so where can I learn the applescript code for Sparrow and Day One?

this was all I found so far:http://dinhviethoa.tumblr.com/post/5967294192/applescript-with-sparrow

As it turns out day one isn't scriptable, so much for that idea.

That's not necessarily true. Check out Day One Tools

Brett Terpstra wrote a great script for adding content to your Day One journal such as Twitter, Instapaper, Foursquare, etc.

Sparrow doesn't let you run scripts on emails, but Mail.app would. Just create a filter that would then parse the email and dump it into Day One
