Run Automator Workflow

[Julien]

Reading the documentation, encountered this :

I do not have anything in that folder? 

What should be there?

I'm looking to use Textsoap with Automator or the Shortcuts app, but TextSoap doesn't appear there.. I can only find it in the Services, which you recommend not using, somewhere in the documentation 🤔  

How could I add it to those apps?

What should be there?

The Run Automator Workflow action was designed to let you access Automator features within a custom cleaner.

Before the Number Lines action existed, you could create a terminal action within Automator to do it, then run that with the "Run Automator Workflow" action.

I'm looking to use Textsoap with Automator or the Shortcuts app, but TextSoap doesn't appear there.. I can only find it in the Services, which you recommend not using, somewhere in the documentation 🤔  

There isn't any built-in Shortcuts support yet (it is something I have been looking at for future release). There is some documentation in the textsoapAgent help on using TextSoap (via the agent) in Automator, which may or may not also apply to Shortcuts, via AppleScript. For example:

How could I add it to those apps?

I'm not sure if Apple intends to keep Automator around long term, other than in maintenance mode.

So, my focus for a future version will be adding integration with Shortcuts.

I see, once again, thank you for the precision.
If I wanted to pass the text to 2 cleaners, how would the script look like ?

Also, is there an example on Shortcuts about this ?

I'm getting issues with how to get it to take the text from a rtf file, and probably also the output at the end.

I'm looking to extract text from a rtf, clean it with 1 cleaner, then using conditionals, clean it with a second, and output it in a specific folder in a new document with a suffix in the name.

But I'm hitting many walls on my way there!   (I'm not a coder, but I would love to be able to automate the use of Textsoap).

Already, 95% of my time is saved with your tool, but having it running automatically, without having to open + click shortcuts would be mind peacefilling !
