Nothing terribly complex here, but I think it's pretty awesome we can do this sort of thing with Alfred:
 
Download here (or go to my webpage for Alfred 1 version)
 
Requires Prowl on your iPhone in order to receive the notifications and launch the dialling process.
 
I'm assuming this could easily be modified to work with Android phones as well, but you'll probably have to wait for Boxcar or Prowl to release Android clients. Pushover might do it, but if it's as lame as the iPhone version, it won't auto-handle the "tel://" URL scheme.
 
Love to know if it works okay for others.

Hello
 
First post - have tried to ensure I'm not duplicating.
 
I have created a workflow for a custom contacts action - specifically to use Skype to call phone numbers leveraging a script I already had. All works just fine however when I open a contact in Alfred I see the following options when highlighting a phone number:
 

 
I'd very much like to be able to define the "Perform custom action" in some way so that it is clear what the action is which is how Alfred v1 worked as shown here:
 

 
Ideally I'd like to be able to define a name/description for the custom action within contacts custom action settings. This could then also be used to address a similar issue when using URL passing as a custom action.
 
eg if I use URL passing ( skype:{query}?call ) to achieve the same function, I see the following when highlighting a phone number:
 

 
I'd rather be able to define the "Pass to URL scheme" text so that the action being taken is unambiguous. An additional "Description" field in the Custom Actions section of Contacts could be used in both cases
 
Hope this makes sense
