I’m trying to create a macro in Keyboard Maestro to create a link to an email in Apple Mail, open up a new note in Apple Notes, and paste the link to the email in the note. When I run the macro, I get the error message “no linkable item found in Hookmark.” But when I just click on the Hookmark menu icon, it DOES create the link. In both instances, the subject email is highlighted. Any insights? I have checked permissions, rebooted, tried a variety of Hookmark keystrokes, but no joy in Mudville.

It’s not a complicated macro. It just invokes the app, copies the link, opens Apple Notes, creates a new Note and pastes the link that [should be] in the clipboard. But it’s choking at Step two.

TIA
