Tweaking @Corey's, here's how to launch the profile with an Alfred keyword. 

I really appreciate Corey's text + screenshot instructions, and that the screenshot links still work after 2 years. 

So, I deleted my Alfred 2 as I thought it was redundant to my Alfred 3. Now, my QuickTask doesn't work. When I try to reset my akey, I get the following message in the debug console:

Starting debug for 'Asana QuickTask'

[2016-10-06 12:36:21][ERROR: action.script] mkdir: /Users/joe/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data: No such file or directory

mkdir: /Users/joe/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data: No such file or directory

wflanaganiii mentioned symlinking to fix this, but I'm not sure what or how to symlink what to what. Any help?

The problem is that the directories that are created by Alfred 3 are called "Alfred 3" not "Alfred 2" as the script expects.  

 

So, the "fix" is to go into two places and "symbolically link" Alfred 2 to the Alfred 3 directory.  

 

The path is relative to your username, so it will be different for each user. To find out the paths, go to the "Workflows" in Alfred preference, click the workflow, then run it. You will see errors when the script tries to access the path.  

 

Use the command line on OSX to link the same path from Alfred 3 to the Alfred 2 folder. 

 

And, then things work.  

 

I don't really have time to write a script to do this, as I'm working. But, I wanted to 1) let people know with path fixes it works, and 2) give you a hint on how to fix it, so you don't waste the hour or two I have trying to learn Alfred, Alfred debugging, etc. to sort this out.
