Need some suggestions on how to tidy my app switching workflow

[ionstorm]

Question: Is there any better way to invoke the confirmation sound - just so the workflow looks a bit more tidy?

Backstory: I created a workflow to use as an app switcher. I wanted it to play a sound when I pressed the hotkey because sometimes it takes the computer a while to activate the app and I just needed to have an audible cue so I knew the workflow was played.

Here's what my workflow looks like:

 

Thanks!

Well you could certainly tidy it using the Junction Utility. Here's an example of what I mean (missing the final links…but you'll see what I mean):

 

(Obviously you wouldn't need the last Junction in each chain and would replace it with the Launch Apps/Files action.) Someone else may well come up with a better idea but I think that would work.

 

In passing, the Junction Utility is useful when you need to tidy a workflow.

The junction worked fine. I was wondering if there was yet another way though.

 

Maybe like a transient item within the workflow that would just invoke itself when the workflow is invoked.

You could use the "Post Notification" object instead.

I looked at Post Notification but i'm not seeing a way to trigger it without actually connecting something to it. Is there a way to do that?

Oh, I thought you were looking for a transient replacement for the sound alert
