Thanks Vitor! I tried opening a link in terminal and this was the error message I got. MacBook-Pro-2:~ x$ open "https://apple.com" The application cannot be opened for an unexpected reason, error=Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10673 "(null)" UserInfo={_LSLine=3863, _LSFunction=_LSOpenStuffCallLocal}

Hey team, I created some custom workflows that used the "open link" action from the GUI but now when I turn my mac on and I open the workflow before doing anything else chrome doesn't open the links. I tried adding an action step to open the chrome application first but this didn't solve the issue. The only way I can get it to work is to click the chrome icon in my taskbar so that the "choose profile" page comes up and then when I run the workflow it opens the links in chrome. Is there a way to solve this? I tried updating alfred but this didn't solve the issue. I'm on Alfred 5.0.2. If you need to see any more information please let me know what, I'm a bit of a noob, I attached a copy of the beginning of the workflow. Thanks!

this worked perfectly, thank you!

Hey everyone. I've been successfully using this workflow for a few months but for the past week or so whenever I search for something in google drive I get 2 results for each entry come up. It looks like it's showing an "encrypted" result and a non-encrypted result? When I reveal one of them in the finder/ select them from the first result nothing comes up/ the folder is empty. When I click the second result the files appear/ open. Any idea what's happening here and what I need to do to resolve this? I just tried checking and updating the file path for the google drive folder but that didn't resolve the issue.

Thanks for the reply Vitor. Perhaps the best way of doing this as a workflow is to split up the two processes into 2 automations. 1 automation to get the usernames and put them into a text file as a list of usernames separated by a new line. And then a second automation to highlight the text on that row go to the new DM page URL and paste the username so that I can select the person and send them the message. Will the join args function remove the need for the loop because the list of tabs will be in 1 variable how do I extract each instance of the "usernames" perhaps replace will be better as it will remove every instance of the url and /, is that correct?

Hey! I am trying to automate a process that I do regularly. The context of the actual process is that I send direct messages to people who like my instagram posts. The way I do this is open up all of the users who've liked my post into a new tab in chrome. Therefore what I want to do is hit a hotkey that will gather all of the usernames from the url's in the browser tabs and then go to the new DM link and paste in their username so that all I have to do is select them and type out my message to them. My understanding of what I need to do is: 1. get the URL's from the browser tabs (with the automation task) [url format is: https://www.instagram.com/[username]/ ] 2. split the URL's into separate variables (with split Arg) [not sure how to do this] 3. run the get column from text automation task on each variable to extract the username from the URL [know how to do this 1 time but not for a list of multiple variables] 4. open up a new tab for sending a DM to each person (link: https://www.instagram.com/direct/new/) [don't know how to do this for the number of variables I'll have] 5. copy to clipboard and paste the split variable for each person. [don't know how to paste these in in a repeatable process] How do I do this and make it a repeatable workflow so that it will generate all of the tabs with the usernames already pasted in? My guess is that I'll need to get the list of URL's, split them, then run a loop that extracts the username, opens a tab for them, pastes in the username to the field and then goes to the next one until there's no more variables. But I don't know how to actually implement that. I'll also want to close all the tabs before opening the new ones so there's not loads of them open.

Thanks @vitor! I've been using the third option for creating some workflows so this would probably be the easiest for me to begin with. To use the GUI to get to the right place in the sheet is there a way I can find the chrome tab with the sheet open (usually when I'll be doing this process the sheet will already be open with multiple other tabs) and automate going to the correct location within the sheet?

Hi, I have a repetitive task that I'd like to automate. I want to type in 4 arguments into alfred and have them populated into a row in a google sheet. What needs to happen is these 4 values go into the columns a,b,c and d and then I have formulas to calculate what I need off the back of them in columns e, f, g. Is this possible and if so how? I'm a relative noob so pleas bare with me. Thanks!
