Hello World

Running your first automation with MessageJay

MessageJay supports running hand written code as well as prompting an AI to generate the automation for you.

AI Generated Automation

This prompt shows how you can generate an automation that checks an e-mail for specific content and sends an response:

When an email arrives,
check if the text content contains "hello, world", ignoring casing and
if the text is found, send a response with the content "Hello, World!"

Handwritten Automation

If you need more control over the automation, you can write the code by hand. This minimal example shows how you can check an e-mail for specific content and send an response:

import * as runtime from "./runtime";
const integrations = {} as const;
// Write your code below this line

async function main(): Promise<void> {
  const { email } = await runtime.getParameters();

  if(email.text.toLowerCase().includes("hello, world")) {
    await email.reply({
      text: "Hello, World!"
    });
  }
}

runtime.start(main);
