24: Workflow - Third Party Applications

This week Fraser and Federico continue the Workflow series by looking at integrating Workflow with third-party apps.

• Pingdom: Start monitoring your websites and servers today. Use code BLACKFRIDAY for 50% off your first invoice on all annual plans (excluding Enterprise).

Scripting Workflow itself and its built-in Actions is great fun but the real magic happens when you integrate Workflow with third-party apps. In this episode, Fraser and Federico go deep on URL schemes and then explain how to use Workflow's friendly Action interfaces to many of these app URL schemes.

Fraser and Federico cover real-world examples from apps such as Blink, Ulysses, Due, OmniFocus, Transmit and Bear.

• Blink: Better Affiliate Links
• Ulysses
• Due — Reminders, Countdown Timers
• OmniFocus 2
• Transmit
• Bear - beautiful writing app for notes and prose

• Implementation Details for OmniFocus Automation
• Fraser's Appearance on LearnOmniFocus Live
