How to send multiple args via External Trigger?

[andy4222]

Hi Alfred team, right now we can pass one argument via External Trigger (ET). Any way to pass in multiple args? I think maybe we can pass in all args in a single string and then split them, but that requires work to be done in every single workflow. Any good way to pass in multiple args? Something like: `alfred://runtrigger/com.alfredapp.abc/mysearch/?argument=test&argument2=test2`

 

Please share other ideas/suggestions. An example workflow would be great.

@vitorcould you please guide me a little here? Any example should work.

You can only pass one argument with the URL scheme.

Oh, got it 🙁 . I supposed I'll have to have either decode everything as base64 or some other trick.

 

How do I extract that one arg out though?

@andy4222 The way I'd approach this is pass the single argument in the URL as comma or pipe separated, then add a Split Arg object after which can split this into either variables or multiple arguments depending on how you want to use it within the workflow.
