jblarsen Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hi David, (I am also in Huntsville!) I have an Automator Service that I want to invoke from Alfred. It combines the pdf files that are selected in the Finder. I am a scripting novice and I tried a bash script: automator "\Users\myusername\Library\Services\Combine Selected PDF Files.workflow" I select the files to combine in the finder and invoke the command but nothing happens. Am I trying to do something that is impossible or doing something wrong? Thanks! Link to comment

Considering the size of the tech community here, I've been surprised that I haven't run across more. Anyway, could you send me the workflow that you've created so that I could take a look at it and see if I can figure out whats going on? Edit: Forgot to mention, if you can't easily post it somewhere for me to download it, could you send it via email? david @ alfredapp.com. Thanks Link to comment
pete Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Is there a way to pass parameters to the automator workflow from Alfred? Link to comment
jdfwarrior Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Is there a way to pass parameters to the automator workflow from Alfred? Depending on what you are attempting to set/pass you could use the -i or -d switch and pass values into the automator command line too. Open a terminal and type 'man automator' to see more information on the automator command line tool Link to comment
