Trigger an automator workflow when an application opens
Hi,
I am wanting to trigger an automator workflow/action when I open a specific application
How do I do this?
Thanks

You would have to continually monitor if the App is opened.
Is this for your own use? If so, instead of triggering the Workflow when an App is opened, Have the Workflow trigger the App.
For example, I have iTunes on a Network drive.
The following Applescript App mounts the network drive, pause, then open iTunes (I also used ⌘I to change the App icon to ) When I quit iTunes, it ejects the drive.
tell application "Finder" to mount volume "afp://Mac-mini.local/Music"
tell application "iTunes" to launch
tell application "iTunes" to activate
repeat
tell application "System Events"
if name of every process does not contain "iTunes" then exit repeat
end tell
delay 60
end repeat
tell application "Finder" to eject the disk "Music"
