Hi Rutger,

Thanks for your interest. You can download the workflow from here. It's the Github's releases page from the workflow's repo.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Rodrigo

Hey I want to swap between me and USER2.

Not to the next. How can I do this?

You'll have to update the workflow to set the variable NEXT_USER_ID conditionally.

Hi Rodrigo,

Your very handy workflow doesn't work anymore in Big Sur. Do you have a new one?

Kind regards,

Rutger
