Thanks, @vitor. Took your advice to heart and implemented it with one copy to clipboard and no pauses.

With pleasure, @Vero

Thanks a lot for your help, @Vero!

I have a _long_ list of quotes that I want randomly inserted, so I wanted to keep them in the text file (which also makes maintenance easier) rather than a list field in Alfred.

I have it working now. I had run into issues with my first clipboard paste - my signature - not coming through and only my second paste - the quote - turning up twice. Turns out I needed to insert a little pause (slow, slow, slow is the way to go) in order to make it work:

I am struggling with achieving the following:

Call a snippet with my standard snippet group assignment prefix (^) to insert my signature, followed by a random line from a textile (containing quotes).

I do have a Bash script that pulls the text and copies it to the clipboard. Ideally, I'd like to trigger a snippet via text that then calls a workflow. Seems that I can't do that but have to create a workflow with a snippet trigger. This changes my prefix from my usual one to a separate prefix I need to assign to workflows - which throws a spanner in the works for me.

Is there really no way to call a workflow from a standard snippet?

Thanks!
