Ted Curran Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hi Community- I just made a dead simple Automator script, and I was looking for a dead simple way to convert it to an Alfred Workflow. All it does is take the selected file in the Finder and archive/compress it as a zip in the same location. I saved it as a .app and it works ok, but ideally I'd like it to be an .alfredworkflow. What's the most straightforward way to convert Automator scripts as Workflows? Thanks, and sorry for the n00b question. T Link to comment
Andrew Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 There is an 'automator' command (/usr/bin/automator), so you should be able to just call your scripts directly using a Run Script action in Alfred (set as Bash), then using the command: /usr/bin/automator /path/to/workflow An alternative approach would be to use a simple script and bypass using automator. Take a look at this workflow: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/539-zip-for-alfred-3-compress-files-and-folders/ Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
