Workflow examples not opening my applications and files

[PAUL R FONTENOT]

I am trying to customize the workflow examples that come with Alfred to do some simple workflows; just opening my applications, folders and files; while the workflow examples seem to be opening Chrome web browser and Safari just fine, they are not opening my Microsoft applications and files; the workflow examples ARE opening the MAC OS APPLICATIONS as well.  Is there a compatibility issue with Microsoft office applications?  Or, are the workflow example scripts trying to establish a link between my user account and the applications?

Hi Paul, welcome to the forum.

 

I can tell you that the example workflows aren't doing anything complicated (like linking accounts and apps).

 

Beyond that, it's very difficult to say anything concrete about a workflow we don't have. Could you upload the workflow you're talking about somewhere and post a link so we're all on the same page?
