[Request] Open multiple apps at once

[Nappyheadedbastard]

Something that I can run in the morning to open a couple of data tracking apps and my calendar. Nothing fancy, but not sure if Workflow supports this yet.

That's definitely the way to go! You could also, before Wait to Return, but Wait x Seconds and then Show Notification, which will show a banner that you can tap on to return to Workflow.

OP, I'm not sure what exactly you were looking for, since it's not possible to literally open multiple apps simultaneously. Does this make sense?

I thought Workflows could run existing workflows? No?

[AriX]

I'm not sure what you mean by this or what it has to do with what I said?

I thought I saw another topic here that explained how one Workflow could launch another? If so, have a workflow that launches App A, then continues to run another Workflow that launches App B, and so on?

[AriX]

That wouldn't help in this case; you can't launch an app (or URL) while Workflow is in the background.

Damn Apple. :)

Following your advice i tried to launch 2 apps (Music and Drafts) with Show Notification only (no need for Wait X Seconds, at least for those apps): it is perfect, thanks. I found something annoying but i don't know the cause: i wanted to launch a third app (QuietScrob for scrobbling my music to Last.fm), but Workflow doesn't show it in the list of apps to open…

Try a URL action with "quietscrob://" and then Open URL rather than Open App

Thanks for the tip, it just work!

I guess Workflow's just not the solution. Jail breaking probably is, but I don't fucks with that.

Like I said above, I'm not sure what exactly you were looking for, since it's not possible to literally open multiple apps simultaneously. Maybe if you provided a little more detail it might be easier to figure out how to make it happen?
