indeed. Doesn;t work on Alfred 3. Would love to see an update!

Thank you wonderful person. It worked

thanks, but no success as of yet. It does open PLain Clip, but for some reason it doesn't paste afterwards. I duplicated the original workflow that did paste (but too fast).

any further suggestions?

Adding a delay is seldom the best idea, and should only be used as a last resort. External factors can make the operation slower or faster than anticipated, and your action fail or take longer than needed. Hence, the best solution is to wait the exact amount of time needed, i.e., immediately after the action finishes.
 
Delete the Launch Apps/Files node and replace it with a Run Script one. Inside, set the language to bash, and add the following:

open -Wa 'Plain Clip'

That should do what you need.

I use Plain Clip to clean up copied text before pasting it. Works beautifully. Made a keyboard combo and workflow to make this process even easier, but unfortunately, Plain Clip needs a fraction of a second to process the text, and in the meantime, the text is already pasted. How to add a delay between calling Plain Clip and pasting the text. See the image of the workflow below:
