Josh,

Thanks for all that you have shared. I find it very useful.

In your WWDC 2014 presentation, you showed an Automator workflow that would run a JXA in the front most app -- any app. Could you please share this Automator workflow?

I have looked everywhere, and can't find it.

Many Thanks, JMichaelTX

Hey @JMichaelTX,

I'm not sure I fully understand your question but I'd be happy to help! In my presentation I referred to the system wide script menu in Script Editor.app, and this was also mentioned in the WWDC 2014 session on JavaScript for Automation. However this doesn't run automator workflows – just scrips.

I also included screenshots from WWDC 2018 regarding the ability to run Automator Quick Actions from any app using the Touch Bar if that's what you're referring to?
