Looping through multiple arguments?

[sterling]

I have a workflow that goes through several steps, with a couple filters in there too.

 

Right now I invoke it with a keyword and an argument. I'd like to pass multiple arguments, running the workflow for each argument passed. I understand that the arguments are passed as a string, so it if were all one script being run I could just loop in the code. Is there a way to take those arguments and pass them along the rest of the workflow one at a time?

Can you describe what you're trying to do more concretely? Like, what is your end goal? What steps and elements is your workflow made of?

 

Ideally, upload the workflow somewhere where we can download it and have a look. It's hard to comment on something you only have a very vague understanding of.

To give you a concrete answer, yes and no

 

Workflows don't have a native "loop", but you can call Alfred's External Triggers from code (via AppleScript), so you can do the looping there.

Ah, I get it. I was able to loop through the arguments and call the external trigger each time. Works perfectly. Thanks for the hint!
