    Automator. How to use it?
    I think I have a general idea of what Automator does, I would just like to know exactly how to use it, because it looks like it would be a useful application. Help?

    YW but do remember if you have a specific Automator action you are trying to do/set up dont be shy in returning and asking the question

    I know this is going to sound like I am tooting my own horn but you might find the following ATPM articles useful. They illustrate some basic concepts and what I have been able to do with it. The Automator interface has changed a bit over the time these articles were written but I think you will get the idea.

    ATPM 12.07 - How To: Maybe You Ought To Be Using Automator
    ATPM 12.08 - How To: Sending Automated Birthday Greetings Via Automator
    ATPM 15.11 - How To: Making Your Own Speakable Items
    ATPM 16.01 - How To: Building Your Own Additions to the Services Menu

    You might also find Ben Waldie's Mac Automation Made Simple podcast useful.
    Did you know these forums are soon to be shut down?
