obabilon Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I'm trying to understand workflows and I have no idea how to create them. I used to be good at stuff like this but I'm finding it difficult to understand how it works. Is there some visual training on how to create a work flow? And how do I "hook up" a downloaded workflow that someone else created?

Hi there, You might find these few tutorials useful to get started: Installing and setting up workflows: http://blog.alfredapp.com/2014/04/02/tutorial-importing-and-setting-up-alfred-workflows/ Create your first workflow without a line of code: http://blog.alfredapp.com/2014/04/24/tutorial-creating-an-alfred-workflow-without-a-single-line-of-code/ Creating a file filter workflow to search for specific file types: http://support.alfredapp.com/tutorials:file-filter-workflow Enjoy Vero
deanishe Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 First off, you can only use/make workflows if you have the Alfred Powerpack. If you've downloaded a workflow, it should normally be a single file with the extension .alfredworkflow. Double-click the file in Finder, and Alfred will install it. If you've downloaded a GitHub repo and just have a folder, find the folder that contains the info.plist file and zip it (i.e. right-click in Finder and select Compress "XXX"). Rename the resulting zip file, replacing the .zip extension with .alfredworkflow, and then double-click it to install as above. You can create a workflow by pressing the + button at the bottom of the Workflows list in Alfred Preferences. There are several example workflows included. There are also plenty of good tutorials on building workflows.
