Hi. I'm making my first workflow (Alfred 2.7.2), but I've encountered a couple snags.
First, I'm trying to create a file to save data at the recommended location, but it seems like the alfred_workflow_data and alfred_workflow_cache environment variables are empty. For example, from within a Run Script action, if I do
echo $alfred_workflow_data
and then pipe the action to a notification, the {query} contents are blank. Other environment variables (version, workflow name, etc.) show up fine.
Also, I was hoping to pipe the output of a Run Script action into a Default Web Search action, but the UI only seems to allow "triggers" and "inputs" to feed into actions. Why is this? The distinction between these categories doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.
Thanks.

Aha! That got it.
It might be helpful to add a note about this in the env var documentation.
Look forward to seeing how the workflow interface evolves in future releases. Thanks again!
