Apple Shortcuts - Get Messages action

I don't have access to the Get Messages action in Apple Shortcuts. Is that action still available? I would like to create a shortcut that takes all text messages received from a specific contact on a specific day and moves them into one summary email sent to me. Can anyone help me? Thanks so much!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

"Sent" messages view options in Mac Mail. I'm probably missing something obvious, but... I'd like Sent messages in MacOS to appear as they do in iOS - where the recipient's name takes priority over mine, per the screenshots. Cannot see a way to do it 🥲 Thanks.

May Apple please create a feature that allows me to PIN certian text messages in the text thread? Unless there’s already something similar to this for when I am texting, I am not sure if it has to be a certain type of text message like how you collaborate or use slideshows for business chats …or i’m not sure if the slideshow thing is possible, it does sounds about right but I could be reaching, just let me know if I can pin text messages in my threads with certain contacts or if this is something that Apple should create to become a feature… it will be very helpful for me and my daily life routines. Thank you.

Search Messages by Date Is there a way to search messages by date? I found an earlier post saying you could do this on a Mac by typing "kind:message created:" with the date in Spotlight. However, this only works for me for the last three days. I am trying to find texts from 2022, and nothing shows up when I enter those dates or anything prior to a few days ago. Does the Spotlight search only work for very recent texts, or is there something I need to do to fix that? If not, is there any other way for me to find texts from a specific date in 2022 without scrolling back through individual conversations?
