So I’ve decided to take another look at Drafts. I loved it and used it for a long time. Then I fell off it. But now with actions on the Mac, I’m re-looking at it. But I’m starting small and not jumping in blindly and trying to do too much with it.
One thing I was thinking about was sending a text message to a group of people.
I know I can do this in Drafts. I have already set up an action for it. However, I’m wondering if I can do this in Alfred Powerpack and if so, if there is a benefit doing it there instead of Drafts.
Do any of you send messages in the Mac Message app without opening the app up then typing in all the contacts?
I use Drafts for composing and sending long texts all the time. I own Alfred+Powerpack but since Drafts offers one-click messaging I never investigated using Alfred - I never saw the point. If I were to use or create a workflow I’d have to compose in some app, why not Drafts, which is powerful and free (and doesn’t require Alfred)?
In my mind, it’s easier to do it in Drafts because you can just start typing the message and then click on a pre-defined action (e.g. Send message to family). There is no mental gymnastics in Alfred to remember what terminology to use to send a test to my family versus some other group.
