Launch 2 MS Office documents workflow

[PAUL R FONTENOT]

I am just a beginner, but I thought I would share this simple workflow that does not rely on scripts or variables.  It is basically a workflow designed to launch Microsoft Office applications and produce a new document from a template document.  I have split the workflow by application so you won't be opening a slew of applications and files at once; I believe, in the real world, you may not really want to launch a bunch of applications and files all at once.

 

There is not much documentation to go with this workflow; it uses tools already accessible within the "All Workflow Objects" workflow as a smorgasboard of tools readily accessible.  There are no scripts and it does not rely on variables; just basic stuff.

 

Please send me some feedback and let me know if you like this workflow.

Why are you adding delays before every step?

So you can see all the notifications and Large Types and hear all the sound effects clearly, of course!

You are exactly correct deanishe!  I wanted to get the full effect of the notification, sound effects and large type on my screen which gives me gratification.

@PAUL R FONTENOT Good job Paul - you're learning Alfred fast

 

Just to let you know, all of the objects you see in the built in "All Workflow Objects" workflow are available from right clicking within any workflow canvas. You'll get a popup menu where you can select the items you need such as the "Play Sound", "Delay", "Post Notification" etc.

 

Cheers,

Andrew

Thank you, Andrew, for the positive feedback; it makes me feel like my journey to learn Alfred is progressing and fruitful.
