Automate aliases creation with automation

Hi,

I need to create a folder action to automatically create an alias when a new folder is created.

The action should monitor a specific folder and once it notices a new folder, create an alias and move it into a specific folder.

Can anyone help me with this, please?

Many Thanks

John

Simple.

In the example below the folder enabled is called Test.

The Output creates an Alias on the Desktop. You can change the source or the destination easily.

Create a Folder (on your Desktop or wherever)

Open Automator

Choose Folder Actions Script

Copy the workflow below.

Done.
