Custom bundle paste text into open email

If by pasting you mean taking whatever is on the pasteboard (⌘C) and put it into the email body then you can use the pbpaste command to get the pasteboard string. Otherwise, I think I'm going to need a few more details to understand what you are trying to do.

Here's how you read a value and put it into a variable in Bash.

str=`pbpaste`

Hey Benny im trying to put a tracking image into a email that im responding to or that im creating. Since the email has almost no information before im sending it I would like to add the link by executing a command in my custom MailMate bundle to add it to the current draft email whenever i feel ready (or when im sending the email: that would be even better). Since there is only few commands documented here: https://github.com/mailmate/mailmate_manual/wiki/Bundles#output im not sure how to do this. My current state is this:

Thanks for your help :)

newTrackedEmail.mmCommand

{
    name          = "New tracked email";
    uuid          = "550219B8-6E4E-4C2B-A1F2-1043951C0947";
    keyEquivalent = "@n";
    executionMode = noMessages;
    input         = "canonical";
    output        = "actions";
    environment   = "MM_FROM=${from}\nMM_TO=${to}\nMM_SUBJECT=${subject}";
    command       = '#!/bin/bash\n"${MM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT}/bin/createTrackedEmail"';
}

createTrackedEmail

requests_dir = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'vendor')
sys.path.append(requests_dir)

import requests

response = requests.post('http://localhost:8875/backend/api/pt/create/', {
    'account': os.environ.get('MM_FROM'),
    'email': os.environ.get('MM_TO'),
    'subject': os.environ.get('MM_SUBJECT'),
})

result = {
    'actions': [
        {
            'type': 'createMessage',
            'body': '![]({})'.format(response.json()),
            'resultActions': [
                {
                    'type': 'openMessage',
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

print(json.dumps(result))

Thanks alot!
