How to Pass Clipboard into Notification?

[vlar]

Hello,

 

I have designed a simple workflow which takes my clipboard and pass it into a small bash script and then there is a notification. 

I would like the notification to include my clipboard value so 'I'm sure the content of my clipboard is the one I needed to be processed. 

I did try through all the way possible :

 

{clipboard}

{var:clipboard}

 

When I use {query}, it does indeed return a part of my script but not the clipboard.

 

I have searched (surely wrongly) for hours without a solution. 

 

Cheers to you all fellow productivists

@vlar Could you please share your workflow so that we can see what you've got so far? You may just need to add an Arg/Var utility before your Post Notification to add the Clipboard to the output from your script.

 

Cheers,

Hello,

Since, I'm using a master workflow for hundreds of small custom actions it would be convenient but here is a most exhaustive description for this simple workflow: 

 

Prompt keyword: csfip

Title & No Subtext 

 

Action Append to file  with only {clipboard}

 

Post Notification with a title {clipboard} or with a text {clipboard}

 

 

The bash script isn't actually triggered by Alfred itself but from a cronjob.

We can't debug a workflow based on a vague text description. If you won't upload the entire workflow, copy the part that isn't working into a new one and upload that somewhere, then post a link to it.

Understood. Thank you for taking the time to letting me know. Here is the workflow:

@vlar Here's your workflow, updated to add an Arg/Var object which takes the clipboard and turns it into the argument that is then passed on to your Notification

Hope this helps!

It says that the workflow is invalid and I'm unable to import it. 

However, I'm impressed by that kind of support here. Also, I'm eager to see what has been done as I feel like it would unlock many doors

@vlar Could you confirm you're using Alfred 4.6.1?

 

The other reason you may see "unable to import" is if you're using a browser or post-download third party unarchiving tool that's trying to unarchive the workflow. If that's the case, either disable the tool or use an alternative browser.

That's indeed correct. It worked perfectly well and so is the arg you have inserted. Thank you very much for all the follow up.
