Hello,
I just received a new Macbook Pro today and was frustrated to find that iChat has been removed in leu of Messages in Mavericks.
On my old Macbook, I had a simple AppleScript set up to fire when someone attempted to chat with me the first time via iChat, but not on subsequent messages. (i.e. someone would send me a message, the script would run, but once the conversation was started it would not fire again). The AppleScript in question would send an SMS to my cell via Twilio with the sender's name and message content. I am often away from my desk at work tending to server racks, etc. and it is nice to get a notification of pending iChat requests.
It seems like the "text invitation" event on Messages isn't working at all. I can't get the event to trigger anything, no matter what I try.
Other events, such as "message received", seem to work with no problem. It is just the "text invitation" event that I cannot get to fire.
Here is my script. It is copied from Apple's included "Speak Events" script.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can also share my Twilio code if anyone is interested.
Here is the script that I am trying to run via Messages
Thanks for your time,
Jason
