Am I missing something with scripts and hot keys?

[kevindeleon]

In Alfred V1 w/ Powerpack I was able to run a bash script and assign a hot key to it.  I don't see where I can do that with Workflows.  Am I missing something?

Nevermind...I got this figured out.  Just started with an empty workflow and added triggers and actions...not completely intuitive coming from V1, but I can see how it could be powerful.

In Workflows , click +. This gives you access to blank workflow option but also built-in examples and templates. Select Templates>Files and Apps>Launch file group from hotkey. A new workflow will be set up. Double-click the Hotkey button,and in the sheet define a short cut for your workflow that won't clash with another OSX short cut. Click save. Next double click Launch Apps/Files and drag apps to the sheet  from the Finder ( such as Mail and Calendar). Click save. You can now use your short cut to launch apps or bring them to the front if already launched.
