zamboknee Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Can I tell Alfred to open a specific link (like a google meet link) in only a specific browser (such as Chrome)? I use Firefox but would like to automate things so that when I click on a google meet link it will automatically open in Chrome. Link to comment

The Open URL Action allows setting a specific browser to open a link. 2 hours ago, zamboknee said: so that when I click on a google meet link But this is not telling Alfred, it’s telling macOS. Alfred does not interfere with those calls. You can change your default browser fast with @zeitlings’s Set Default Browser or use a specialised app like Velja. In fact, this is the first item in their “Example use-cases”: Quote Use Safari as your primary browser but open Google Meet links in Chrome Note: I have never used the app, but some Alfred users have mentioned using it.

zamboknee Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 Confused. So I can open specific links using that action or I need a separate app FIRST? Link to comment
vitor Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 You use either solution applies to what you want to do, they’re all separate. Link to comment
zamboknee Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 I setup a workflow with that action ('open URL') but it still opens to my default browser. Do I need to input https://meet.google.com/ with some sort of string behind it? Basically, a modifier to let Alfred know that 'any URL' with 'meet.google.com' in it? Link to comment
vitor Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 If you want it to work on clicks in any app, use the linked app. Link to comment
zeitlings Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Here's an idea using either a Hotkey or Universal Action and matching the selected link against some Regex to conditionally open it in a specific browser. https://transfer.archivete.am/zA134/Demo | Open Link.alfredworkflow Link to comment
