    The errors pretty self-explanatory, tbh. You can't upload workflows, only image files. This is a forum, not a software hosting site.

     

    You should host your workflows on a site like GitHub that is designed for that kind of thing.

     

    To be fair, this is an Alfred related site. The file attachment module does say "…file types gif, jpeg, jpe, jpg, png " which is obvious, I get it.

     

    My point being is,  the .com implies that the workflows shared here and on personal websites are (to some degree) mutually exclusive. The lack of help text, hints, text, or a FAQ that clearly states that alfredforum does not host actual workflows is surprising. It may appear obvious to you, as a user who clearly has been around these parts for a while, but for new users who aren't familiar with the forums, sending them on a wild goose chase sucks. Once more, the "Go to the Workflow Help & Questions forum for questions" link points right back to same page.

    "hundreds more on Packal, a brilliant user-created repository for workflows, as well as on Alfred Forum, "

     

    See how the verbiage could be confusing? In addition to this, in most places where a user would expect to be able to attach/upload/include a workflow, there is zero indication that AlfredForum doesn't offer that feature.  

     

    Helpful Suggestions

     

    The file attach error could be more useful, ya know, incase a user missed the help text…  Easy win…

    Considering Workflows are "Other media"… heres an easy win…

    I wanted to attach a Workflow to my posts, which isn't exactly how that works… What if there was some text to support the user behavior Alfred Forums prefers? Here is an easy win…

    Well if this isn't idiot proof… I don't know what is…

    Oh, this is one I really like… Seeing how this is the "Share Workflows" forum… A user might assume they can included them in the post, optionally of course…

    Literally a slight bit of attitude and you get a bunch of free UX work. Must have been feeling generous. Your lucky day I guess! 

     

     

     

  2. I created a simple workflow that opens your personal Zoom.us meeting using your Personal Meeting ID.

    Quickly Launch a Zoom Meeting using your Personal Meeting ID

     

    To Get Started

    1. Get your Personal Meeting ID ({personalMeetingID})
    2. Paste PMI into personalMeetingID value column ---->
    3. Trigger Alfred type `zm` and press `Return`

     

    Expected Behavior
    * Alfred will launch Zoom.app
    * Alfred will spawn a new tab in Chrome
    * Alfred navigates to your Zoom Meeting URL
    * Zoom does it's thing
    * The Zoom Meeting URL is copied to your clipboard

     

    Note
    I Chose chrome, but it should work with the browser of your choice
    I haven't tested this without Chrome being open.

    This is great.. is there a way to have say  `zm n` open zoom and start a meeting using my default PMI?

     

    This is exactly what brought me here. I was trying to create my own workflow to solve this.

    I basically copied my personal zoom URL, and open a tab in chrome and paste the URL. In the Zoom preferences, I have it set to copy the meeting URL to my clipboard. This Zoom setting will apply to any Zoom session, and will definitely save some time.

     

    I would love to see this workflow updated to include something Tony mentioned.
