Ok – many thanks – I think I will be able to make that change, but could you clarify where I would find the file in question? Running a search for "client_rules.json" brings up hits in my backups of "old" workflows, but nothing seemingly related to the current workflow? Could you kindly explain where I would begin to look? EDIT: Apologies, was being silly. Didn't realise I could right click on the workflow, to show in Finder. Will tinker with it now, and see if I get it working. EDIT: Solved. Thanks a bunch!

That works! 😀 So, that needs to be changed in the underlying script, correct?

Silly me – it gives back the following: `The file /Users/goldfish/mailto:John Cleese <sillywalks@theministry.net> does not exist.` Just updating MS Outlook currently, figured I would check if that could make a difference. That said, Mail.app also didn't work, so not sure if something else to blame. Edit: MS Outlook now on V 16.51.21071101, and no change.

Here is the screengrab – seemingly does nothing?

Many thanks. I do still have Outlook, and am running it as my default application. Just ran the "Force Reload", which worked as expected. Changed to Mail.app (confirmed via notification) – ran the workflow, and same issue. Changed back to Outlook, and no difference.

Many thanks – and apologies, figured I would first check to see if this was only a problem on my side, or being seen by others! What would be best? Should I copy in the debugging(?) report?

Anyone else having difficulty with this workflow, under Big Sur? Sadly, not working anymore.

I think you have just saved me weeks, heck, months of saved time, given how many times a day I no longer need to perform time-consuming searches for something I have now stored inside a dedicated Excel spreadsheet, that is a mere few keystrokes away... So, THANK YOU! 👍

Oh WOW. Thanks for this – will play around with both your options – but Dean's looks really good/powerful! [EDIT] >> Installed and using. Thank you for pointing me to the ISYN workflow – just what I was looking for! Plenty of time going to be saved, daily, for me!

Dear Vero – thanks so much for the quick reply! I would create it from existing data – so can have it in whichever format/style – could certainly do a .csv file. It would be static for pretty much the entire year. Each February, I would add new names (and optionally, remove old details). The datasheet would probably consist of about 2k names (maybe a bit less/more), and a related "client number" (so only two columns).

Hello all! Hoping some experienced users can guide me on this – not sure what would be the appropriate/easier tool. I receive queries on an hourly basis from "clients", which – to process their query further – requires their "client number". Assume I am able to compile a simple Excel/Numbers spreadsheet, that has two columns: Column 1 | Column 2 Name | Client number Ideally, would it be possible to invoke an Alfred workflow, and start typing a name, to then have a list (extracted from the spreadsheet) start appearing – and when narrowed down sufficiently – I hit enter, and the associated "Client number" is pasted onto my clipboard? What is the sense here – could I explore how to cobble something together in Alfred – or would this type of thing be more at home in KM??

Wait, what??! ? Wow. I just maximised the Alfred editor, and saw the OneUpdater node, top-left. Clearly, I was the confused one! I clearly didn't read properly, and thought the user needed to add the node, should they prefer. Gah! That said, somewhere, something isn't working as it should. The workflow is still sitting on version 1.2.4, which is why I tried to drop in OneUpdater in the first place (after seeing that new versions had dropped), thinking it would then do the updates. Regardless, I have disabled my node now, and will wait and see if it triggers as it was initially intended to [I have dropped the 'frequency' down to "0", just to test]. Thanks for the clarification, and apologies for introducing some confusion into the mix! ?

Appreciate the reply and assistance @vitor – I have made the change, wouldn't have spotted that. I just want to be clear – so I copy the appropriate Run Script node, paste it into the BE workflow, and link the node to my most frequently used BE workflow 'action'. Once the URLs are then in place, is the idea that upon me firing the BE trigger a few times, the Script will periodically check the GitHub repository of the BE workflow, and if there is a newer version available, install it in the background? Or will I be prompted?

Hoping someone who has the OneUpdater script attached to the BE workflow, will be kind enough to check whether I have the URL settings correct? I attached the OneUpadter script to my most frequently used BE trigger, and set the update frequency to "0" while testing, but it is still running v1.2.4, as opposed to having updated to the newest version. Am I pointing OneUpdater at the right place? # THESE VARIABLES MUST BE SET.

@iandol Have you seen Jon's offer for a beta-test in regards to the new floating window, over at the SonnySoftware forum? Been playing around with it, hope you will share your thoughts!
