Why does my simple Mailer workflow result in "nothing happened"?
Count me as another vote for end-user documentation -- probably I'm missing something easy that I could solve for myself if there were a manual... :-)
I've set up a simple workflow (titled "Mail decoder to Mailer") that should accept an incoming message through the Mail Decoder and pipe its subject line to the Mailer. The "To" address for the Mailer is supplied by a Text Input widget. My goal is to forward email to my mobile phone, stripping the body and keeping just the subject line.
When I try it, the only result is a "nothing happened/not completed" message in my Tarpipe activity log.
Is there something I'm failing to understand about how the Mail Decoder and Mailer should work? Or is there a bug of some kind?
Thanks! I'm a big admirer of Tarpipe and hope I can figure out how to make this work.

Inappropriate?I get the same problem in workflows with only "to" and "subject". Works fine if I then add a "body" -
Inappropriate?Thanks for the feedback,
We're currently working on help and documentation that should be available soon.
In the meanwhile we also found this same problem you're describing and are testing the Mailer so that we can find if there's a bug and how to make it work. -
Inappropriate?Kevin and Bruno, thanks. I added another textinput box to provide some input to the body and it's working now.
I'm using this plus Gmail filters to alert myself about crucial email by SMS. The thing Tarpipe will do that Gmail filters won't is to strip the message body.
I’m happy
