Workflow, the popular iOS
automation app, has received a huge update adding new features and
actions. Here are some tips to help you get started.
Workflow
is one of those apps when you first start using it on your iOS device,
you have a moment of questioning how it's possible for such an app to
exist on iOS.
After using the app for the last few
months, I still don't know how it was allowed through the App Store. But
I'm thankful it was. The latest update to Workflow adds new features
and actions and improves upon the app tremendously.
Favorite an action
When
building workflows, often times you need to access the same actions
more than once. The search bar makes it easy to quickly find an action,
but after the latest update you can now favorite actions for easier
access.
Tapping on
an action in the editor will reveal its description, along with a button
to favorite it. After adding an action to your favorites, tap on the
Favorites option in the editor for easy access.
Run workflows from the main screen
The
previous version of Workflow required you to launch the app, tap on the
workflow, then tap on the Play button to run a workflow within the app.
With the update, the process for running a workflow from the main grid is as simple as double-tapping on a workflow's icon.
Duplicate workflows
One
of my favorite things about Workflow is the community of users who
share various workflows and ideas. But not every workflow created and
shared will fit your exact needs. As such, customizing a workflow meant
tinkering with a copy of the workflow that works.
Tap
and hold on any workflow in the main screen until it's highlighted. In
the top-right corner of the screen a duplicate icon will appear.
Now you can make changes to any workflow without worrying about ruining what was already working.
