How to attach a workflow (service) to any folder in Finder?

I've created several Automator workflows which I've saved as quick actions for Finder, however they are only accessible from the Finder's Services menu.


I would like tto make them available from the Services menu for any folder or file in Finder, how do I do that?


I'm currently running Mojave.

Open each Quick Action in Automator and choose Workflow receives [ files or folders } in Finder. You may need to adjust the workflow if it is to handle files or folders differently.


Quick Actions must be enabled in System Preferences > Extensions > Finder. Once that is done, you can right-click on a file or folder. From the secondary menu, choose the appropriate action from the Quick Actions sub-menu.
