Apple: make Missive a native app
closed
SECRET AGENTS 🌐
Other email clients such as AirMail are recognised by MacOS as an email client, which enables some it highly efficiency-impacting benefits, such as:
• set Missive as default email app
• make the emails searchable through Apple's Spotlight and readable by Siri.
• have MacOS and iOS recognise dates and times, make them clickable, which creates a calendar event when clicked on, containing a link in the URL field that links back to the corresponding message.

Re: Spotlight; This will unfortunately never happen. Missive is a hosted service and emails are not on your devices.

I would love to be able to ~"right-click" on a file and share or send with Missive. I must have missed an option. I'm sure this exists. Can't find it.
Rafael Masson
Pierre Steckmeyer: Unfortunately there is no such option at the moment.

I just have to comment for a +1 here, because I use Missive every day at work on an iMac. Not being able to use Spotlight with Missive is a shame because it would make the workflow alot smoother. Consider it a quality-of-life improvement.
Also all the functionality when it comes to mailto:-links doesn't work in MacOS without Missive being a native app, it seems, and on iOS I can't use Missive for sharing files and pictures natively (from other apps) - but I have to go into Missive and send from there.

One crucial piece of functionality for me in Apple Mail is the ability to "Print to PDF", which creates a PDF from the print menu and adds it as an attachment to a new message in Mail. This seems to be done via an Automator trigger but Missive doesn't seem to have the capability, probably because it's a webviewer and not a native app.

Stuart Hogg: Missive does support printing emails. And macOS’s default print dialog offers “Save as PDF”. See attached screenshots. Does that work for you?
Stuart Hogg
Rafael Masson: That's not quite it. I'm talking about generating PDFs from other applications to send in Missive, rather than turning messages into PDFs.
You can see on your dialogue that there's an option on the PDF menu to "Send in Mail". That works in any app that's got a print dialogue.
What I need is a "Send In Missive" option so that if I'm sending an invoice across to a customer, I can automatically generate a PDF attachment this way, rather than having to save somewhere as a PDF, then find the file and attach it manually.
It sounds like quite a trivial thing, but I'm finding that not having the capability really slows me down.
Hope this helps explain things. :-)

Stuart Hogg: Right, sorry I totally misread your previous comment. We’ll do some research on the topic. Thanks!

Rafael Masson: Hello, i am looking at using missive at our office. But this feature with sending PDF with Missive from the print dialogue is very important for us. Any news?

SmiCut Stuart Hogg: Now possible since Missive v7.0.0, but you will need to follow this guide: https://www.40tech.com/2017/08/07/add-your-favorite-mac-mail-client-to-the-pdf-print-menu/
This is unfortunately not something that can be automated.
