In the next section we’ll make these usable from within the Touch Bar. To begin, we’ll create a couple of useful Automator actions – they aren’t terribly complex but may help you begin to understand how to build your own. Here is how to add an Automator action to your Touch Bar: Step #1: Create some Automator actions I do feel that it remains a little more complex to achieve for many casual Mac users, but it is becoming easier. Create a Resource in Ivanti Automation with the workflow file.This has lots of potential for any enterprise or creative worker, and underlines that automation is alive and kicking on your Mac.

This is useful to differentiate between the various workflow files.

Because workflows are always saved as document.workflow, change the name of the workflow to a more descriptive one.

Save the workflow to a network location.

Create the workflow on a Mac OS X machine.

When specifying values for variables, any paths that you specify must be absolute, not relative.

If no users are logged on, the Task will fail.

At least one user needs to be logged on.

If more than one user is logged on to the same Mac OS X machine, the specified Automator workflow will be executed for the user who logged on first.

When selecting Enable logging, the Results will include a log of the Task and of the Automator output.

When editing variables, you can use placeholders to specify their value.

When the Automator workflow has been selected, an overview of all editable variables relating to this workflow will be shown.

The Automator workflow must first be added as a Resource before you can select it in the Workflow field.

With Automator, you can create custom workflows and deliver automation in Mac OS X to customers without the necessity of writing any scripts, routines, or computer code. Use the Task Invoke Mac OS X Automator Workflow to invoke an Automator workflow on Agents running on Mac OS X.
