Notification from a workflow

[jodrell]

I've created a simple workflow using a script to switch the audio output on my Mac from Stereo to Mono or back. I'd like a notification to tell me what it's just done. I've got a keyword, a Run NSAppleScript and a Post Notification block

 

The AppleScript is as follows,

on alfred_script(q)
  tell application "System Preferences"
	reveal anchor "Hearing" of pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
	tell application process "System Preferences"
		tell window "Accessibility"
			set monoStereoCheckbox to checkbox 2 of group 1
			if (get value of monoStereoCheckbox) as boolean is true then
				set statusNow to xmlItem({title:“Stereo”})
			else
				set statusNow to xmlItem({title:“Mono”})
			end if
			tell monoStereoCheckbox to click
		end tell
	end tell
end tell
if application "System Preferences" is running then
	tell application "System Preferences" to quit
end if
return giveFeedback(statusNow)
end alfred_script

and the Post Notification has a Title and {query} in the text...I'm assuming I'm missing something simple and obvious but what?

Is "return giveFeedback(statusNow)" where you are trying to return the status back to a notification? If so, what is giveFeedback? Where is it defined? Also, I think I saw an article last night where you can easily create a notification directly from AppleScript here. Shouldn't need that though. Just shared for information purposes. Lets get it working from Alfred

erm, giveFeedback probably isn't defined because i was looking at other scripts and trying things out to see what worked...in this case it didn't :-)

 

I guess I just need to know what needs to be output from the script for it to be picked up in the {query} section of the notification box
