Congratulations on the new version.
I Have a Workflow that sends a chosen calendar appointment to Drafts4 as a new draft. Since Drafts 5 is not in the App list yet, what features of this new version do I use to let it receive text from Worklfow?
Thanks
Steve.
I plan to get in touch with the Workflow team and hope they will add Drafts 5 actions - in the mean time, it can be done with URLs. I’m not a big Workflow expert, but to create a draft, the URL you would need is:
drafts5://create?text=TEXT
Where TEXT is replaced with the input variable in the Workflow.
You’ll also want to make sure to use a URL Encode action to encode the text of your calendar entry. The old Drafts 4 actions in workflow would do this for you automatically.
Your flow should look something like this:
Calendar entry -> url encode -> URL action with the URL encoded text as a variable where Greg said -> open URL action.
I’m keeping D4 around for just that purpose. I use my current Workflows to send to D4, then D4 automatically redirects them to D5.
Any updates on this?
I wouldn’t expect any more Workflow updates until it is relaunched as Shortcuts in the Fall.
This works perfectly thank you
