mattbanks got a reaction from Lismpiege in Trigger Actions sequentially in Workflow
Been playing around a lot with creating new Workflows and wondered if there's any way to trigger an Action from another Action?
For example, I want to use a keyword + {query} to create a new development site. First, I want to run a shell script silently. When that finishes, I want to open iTerm 2 to run a Terminal Command action in the foreground. At the same time, I'd like to use the Open URL action to open the local site in Chrome.
From what I can tell, an Action can't trigger another Action in a Workflow. I know I can trigger them simultaneously, but the secondary actions in the Workflow depend on the first shell script being completely.
Any way to do this other than executing commands in a single bash script or writing it out with PHP/Python/Ruby/AppleScript and triggering the scripts sequentially from a bash script?
Thanks,
Matt
