basic question - why won't {query} appear in Notification?

[dfay]

I am setting up a very simple workflow (my first).

 

I have a keyword linked to a Run NSAppleScript action, with a script that executes successfully.  Here's the script:

 

 

on alfred_script(q)

  tell application "TaskPaper"

    tell front document

        tell project named "Inbox"

            make new entry at beginning with properties {name:"- " & q}

        end tell

    end tell

end tell

end alfred_script

 

The Run NSAppleScript action links to a Post Notification output with text set to

 

{query} added to Taskpaper

 

If I check the "Only show if passed in argument has content" box, the notification doesn't display.  If I uncheck the blank, I get a notification reading "added to Taskpaper".  i.e. the Post Notification output thinks that {query} is blank.

 

How do I get the NSAppleScript to pass on {query} to the Post Notification output?

You aren't returning anything from the script so there is nothing sent to output of the NSAppleScript, therefore {query} is empty when it gets to the next step

Thanks.  I had tried it with "return q" after the last line, but moving it to before "end alfred_script" passes it successfully.

Awesome, glad you got it working.
