Thanks guys. I am new to alfred so trying to make this work. The workflow is lifx.https://github.com/stroebjo/alfred-lifx/blob/master/README.md Using either the hotkey or the applescript generated from external trigger, I am able to list the resultant possible actions within the workflow but I am not sure how to nominate a pre-existing action without the use of gui scripting within applescript which would make it unpredictable.
