I have a question regarding an Alfred workflow I'm trying to create, and I was wondering if anyone here could assist me. I apologize if this question seems basic, but despite downloading existing workflows from the community and searching for tutorials, I haven't been able to find the exact terminology or solution for what I'm trying to achieve.
Here's what I want to accomplish:
1. Utilize one snippet trigger.
2. Present a choice between two or more "folders" (or categories).
3. Once a folder is selected, filter the displayed list of items to show only the contents of the chosen folder.
4. Copy the selected item to the clipboard.
(See attached mock-up)
The main purpose of this workflow is to streamline the initial selection process in one of my workflows by reducing the number of items displayed and the number of snippets I have to use. For example, I'm using snippet \\email for the emails of departments or coworkers within my company that I have to give to people the most, and \\clients for groups of client emails from a different company that I often need to email all at once. I would like to be able to use \\email and only see items Work and Clientsafter selecting either of those then I get the contents of the selected list filter.
If anyone could help me understand how to achieve this or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
