Vero Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 We've just published the first sneak peek of Alfred 5's features! Creating workflows will be faster, more user-friendly and accessible than ever with Alfred's new Palette, Prefabs, Automation Tasks and a totally revamped Workflow Editor. Early Access begins later this month. We can't wait to share this new release with you! https://www.alfredapp.com/alfred-5-whats-new/ Feast your eyes on the new Workflow Editor with all the goodness that will make creating workflows even more efficient! brian_seidman, andy4222, giovanni and 5 others 8 Link to comment
GuiB Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Hey @Andrew and @Vero ! Congrats on the new version! This looks great and I’m loving the attention to details! "Automation Tasks" looks to be a good idea to make Workflows work without breaking on system upgrade by keeping the actions maintained with Alfred. I’m looking forward to how this develops and also to the release of the task development tool! Again, congrats and all the best! Vero and Alan He 2 Link to comment
ajyey Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Is there any work being done to make pre-built workflows more accessible throughout the community? I've found myself having to scour this forum and github for existing workflows. Having a dedicated official website or in-app solution for this would be great. That said, amazing work on improving an already great piece of software ! iandol 1 Link to comment

A new Workflow Gallery website is in the work and will be released after v5, as mentioned by @Vero in this post: darioangelo, ajyey and iandol 3 Link to comment
ylluminate Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I think you might have meant "Am I done with..." vs the way you have it presently... 😊 darioangelo 1 Link to comment
alfredpanda Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Looking forward to the Workflow Gallery - it seems most in demand. darioangelo 1 Link to comment
suth Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Would really like to see the workflow gallery a top priority and included as an actual in-app package manager. While the announced changes sound like improvements, they seem to be missing the features (would love customizable detailed result panes in addition to the package manager) that really benefit the user experience in Alfred alternatives. nikivi and JJJJ 2 Link to comment
andy4222 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Wow, this is so good. I can't wait to try it out. Superb work Alfred team. Yay!! ❤️ Vero 1 Link to comment
Andrew Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Once Alfred 5 is out and settled, the Alfred Workflow Gallery will be our top priority, including integration directly into Alfred. The Workflow foundation changes I've made in Alfred 5 pave the way for some really exiting new features (for Alfred 5.1, 5.2 etc). We'll be sharing details in due course!

andy4222 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Wow, `including integration directly into Alfred`, the keep getting better and better. Yay!! Link to comment
andy4222 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) BTW, any new changes to snippets? I mean functional changes not cosmetic ones. Would be great if it can be a little more powerful like Typinator Edited June 15, 2022 by andy4222 Link to comment

This may warrant creating a separate thread to this one, but if you let us know what features you're looking for, we may be able to help you achieve it with Workflows and a Snippet Trigger. There's so much flexibility in using Snippet Triggers, there's a good likelihood what you're looking for is already possible nikivi and Alan He 2 Link to comment
active1 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Being able to add keystrokes such as <Tab key> within the Snippets would be good. Useful for email snippets when you want Subject line then content. Edited June 30, 2022 by active1 Link to comment

In that case, you can create a workflow starting with a Snippet Trigger, and adding a Dispatch Key Combo before the next bit of pasted text. This is particularly useful in that you can also use a short Delay utility if needed before the next piece of text is pasted, in case the app / site you're using is a little slow. Ensures you get good results every time Start a new thread in the Workflows Help & Questions section if you need a hand. active1 1 Link to comment
iandol Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Gosh, can I just say how darn beautiful the new workflow editor looks, Alfred really deserves to win a design award!!! 😍 And then sweating the details (accessibility)! And it is super great news that a workflow gallery is coming, and even more amazing if this makes it into the UI itself. Congratulations, just from the screenshots alone this is amazing work! vitor 1 Link to comment
