Using System Commands

Add one of the Workflow templates and select your System Command. You can choose the "Notify" version of the example workflow if you'd like to see a message in Notification Centre when the action has been performed.

Tip: If you've got clumsy fingers but you want to use a hotkey for a System Command, you can check the "Confirm" box in the System Command object settings. This ensures macOS will pop up a window asking you to confirm your action, making it less likely you'll do it accidentally.
