Trigger: On clipboard update / on text copy

[manavortex]

Hey there, 
I request the feature to have Alfred trigger on clipboard update, so that I can parse and update my clipboard contents according to my needs. 

 

Use Case:

I copy a facebook link like this:

My workflow automatically strips the ?/type=3&theater from the link and update the clipboard contents. 
 

Use Case 2: 

I copy a link that exceeds a certain character limit. 
My workflow grabs the clipboard content, runs them through a link shortener of my choice, and updates the clipboard contents with my new, shortened link.

 

I hope this can be done, it'd be awesome. While LinkClean is very helpful, it requires that I have to run it - I'd like to get rid of that step!

This references this other post.

As said there the reason Alfred doesn’t do this is by design. Alfred is supposed to be deliberately called, and that’s a positive feature.

Two years later...  Sorry for the thread-necromancy. I meant to get back to this tomorrow... next week... soon, and then suddenly, it was 2019.

 

But I could deliberately call it on clipboard update.

I do love the clipboard manager, but right now I have a clumsy KeyboardMaestro macro to achieve what I want. Perhaps you could add the option to run a script with the clipboard contents as argument from the clipboard manager?
