Snippets with Files, Images etc

[Nabil 0]

How do I get to use images/pdf etc. if possible to be used as snippets?

 

Please explain to me like I'm 10 because I am amateur in these stuff and just recently started using Alfred Powerpack!!

 

Thanks In Advance!!

Alfred’s snippets only support text, not attachments.

@Nabil As @vitor said, the snippets themselves support text only (plain and rich text), but you can play with workflows to create your own actions based on a snippet trigger.

 

When you say you want to "use" images and PDFs, do you want to attach these to emails, open them, etc? It's likely that there's a way to do this with AppleScript and a workflow depending on what you have in mind.

 

If you can elaborate, we might be able to help you out  

 

Cheers,

Hey , Thank you both for replying!

 

Okay I'll elaborate, I use WhatsApp desktop a lot for work as I send out brochures and catalogue for different customers and it would be much easier if I can make use of the auto expansion feature of snippet function, 

For example if I type in the keyword " led/" then the catalogue of led fittings (pdf)  which is in my documents folder is pasted into WhatsApp Desktop.

 

I hope you get what I mean!!
