Two weeks ago I had to force-quit Outlook Online on Chrome, as it got stuck. After that, when I tried to use Magical shortcuts, the default font of my emails (which is configured as Calibri, 11p, black) changes to Segoe UI 12p in a dark gray color all the time for the text included in the shortcut.

If I continue writing in the same line of one of the sentences of the shortcut, the font continues to Segoe UI, but if I change lines, the text goes back to Calibri 11p black. You will be able to see what I mean in the image attached. Do you know what might be happening?

I don't want to uninstall the extension, as I don't want to lose the 92.25+ hr I have used Magical, and I'm not sure if this stat is synced in the cloud or only stored in my computer (as it was a few months ago —has it changed?).

Thank you

Good afternoon. Is the "time you saved" statistic backed up in your servers so it is safely stored, or if I need to uninstall your extension and/or change my computer I will loose this statistic? I'm at 90.5+ hours and I would hate to loose it...

Congratulations on your FastCompany introduction article!: https://www.fastcompany.com/90817819/chome-automation-extension-magical

Hopefully with this article you can get to even more people. I didn't know you had >500k users already ;)

FEATURE REQUEST: To be able to duplicate a shortcut to modify is slightly, for email templates that are similar but not identical.

FEATURE PROPOSAL: This might be a big of a long shot, but it would be very useful if there was a way so that Magical could replace a shorten date (such as 15/11/22) for an expanded version of the date (such as Tuesday, November 11th, 2022). Perhaps by placing an * at the begining of the shorten date (*15/11/22). Note that it would ideally need to work american style (month/day/year) and non-american style, as in my case (day/month/year)

FEATURE PROPOSAL: I embed payment links into emails in the phrase "this link", as in "please proceed with payment via this link" all the time, and I think it would be very useful to be able to have a variable-like feature that you would assign to a phrase or word (such as "link"), where in a email-length Magical shortcut, with multiple variables (or none), you would be able to copy-paste a link (payment link in my case, different for every email) into that slot, so that it is automatically embeded as a hyperlink in the resulting email, instead of having to CTRL+K all the time (as I do now)

Hello! Since updating to the latest version of Magical, the variables green rectangles show up on Outlook Online *on email bodies* of yet-to-be-sent and alread-sent emails. So, outside of the pop-up window where they usually only appear. You will be able to see what I mean on the attached screenshot.

These rectangles show up in already-sent emails, new a few weeks old, and in emails sent by another Magical user, from a different computer, using the same email inbox as me. They do not show in the same emails if seen in a computer without the Magical extention installed, checking said email in the same inbox (a shared one).

Is this a bug? Could you please check it?

Thank you

Hello! Feature request ;)

Amongst many, many other things I use Magical for email introductions, such as

"Good afternoon ,

Thank you for your email. 

If you have any question do not hesitate to get in contact with us.

Best regards,"

Most of the time I write the client's name after Good afternoon, which in my templates it's formated as a variable, but sometimes I don't have their name, or I'm not sure in a foreign-to-me full name which is the first name and which the last name, so I prefer not to write it.

Currently, if I don't fill in the variable, as you'll see in the screenshots attached, there's a gap where the content of the variable should appear.

Could you please implement a feature than when a variable is not filled in, this gap disapears, and the text instead of showing as:

Good afternoon ,

Shows as.

Good afternoon,

?

I know it's a small detail, but it would help a lot, not only in this case, but in others.

Thank you!

I'd love if you could export all of your shortcuts as plain text just for peace of mind (not to import them to a different Magical account). I have 200+ shortcuts, that I spend countless hours on, and I would hate if a bug on my computer or on your servers would delete them, or my account, loosing all my work.

I know my data is safe and recoverable on your side, but I would really appreciate if we could export everything to a text file (perhaps with the variables being stylized as <variable>) —in case of loss we could just copy-paste them into Magical.

Again —a fatal loss will probably not happen (fingers crossed!), but just for peace of mind it would be a great feature.

I have recently been using Magical, amongst many, many other things, to autocomplete dates.

For example, I use -[number] for months, such as -1 for January, and +[number] for days of the week, such as +3 for Wednesday,

This way,
Wednesday, January 12
would be coded
+3 -1 12
