Call Sheet

This action group helps photographers turn client emails into organized call sheets. Select emails in Mail.app, run the action, and get a structured document with the shoot details pulled from the conversation.

The scripts use Google’s Gemini AI to extract locations, timelines, deliverables, and contact information from messy email threads and format them into clean markdown. Everything stays local on your Mac—emails are processed through the API and the results are saved in Drafts.

The group includes two call sheet actions. NewCallSheet creates a fresh call sheet from scratch by finding all related messages in a thread, sorting them chronologically, and extracting the key details. UpdateCallSheet takes an existing call sheet and merges in new information from additional emails you’ve received since the original was created. Both actions link back to the original emails so you can reference the source conversation.

There’s also a CreateCaption action for photo ingestion workflows. Write your shoot notes in a draft, run the action, and get formatted metadata ready for Photo Mechanic—a slug, title, caption with template tags, and keywords. It’s useful for editorial photographers who need consistent IPTC metadata across a shoot.
