Update Script Filter results

[rounak]

Script Filter Details:

1. Keyword: @fp        (@fp:find product)

with space Argument Optional

 

2. Checked "Alfred filters results"

 

3. Script: cat <filename>.json

 

When typed query does not match filter results, Alfred shows fall back results.

 

I want to perform action, when the typed query does not match filter results.

How to do it?

 

I am assuming, I have to remove "Alfred filters results" check box.

Then, check if query argument exists in the json file. If not, I can perform action via applescript but if it does exist, then how to do what Alfred does when it filters results?

Alfred isn't really designed around the idea of workflows having their own fallback actions when there are no results. It's doable, but you're fighting the way Alfred wants to work (you choose a result and Alfred passes it to the next action).

 

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Like, what do you want the workflow to do (not how do you want it to work)?

With this in mind, I will change my approach and start fresh.
