Deanishe, thank you for your reply.
Based on what I could tell from screenshots and feature elaboration on Alfred website, that is what I had concluded regarding the snippets.
I am currently evaluating Typinator as an alternative to Textexpander which I've used for several years. I've evaluated a couple of others as well. The biggest downside so far to Typinator is that as opposed to Textexpander which allowed the inclusion of images inside a formatted text snippet (along with an image hyperlink) which is something that the snippets that I use most frequently in daily emails currently can do, Typinator appears to separate these features requiring triggering several snippets/email which requires remembering to do so.
One feature I cannot find in a text expansion app that I'm hoping Alfred might help with, is the ability to trigger specific attachments in emails. I like so many others am prone to forgetting to include attachments in emails. I haven't found any text expansion app that does so.
I don't have any experience with workflows and can't play with Alfred's due to the restrictions in the evaluation version. Is this something that falls within the realm of workflows?
