adding multiple numbers to workflow in Workflow app VoiceOver iOS 10.3.3

[Shai]

Hello,
I am attempting to create a workflow using the Workflow app for iOS
which will accept multiple numbers and query for the number to call
when I double tap on it from the home screen. Utilizing VoiceOver with
iOS 10.3.3, I have dragged two phone number actions above the call
action into my workflow, but after adding the numbers, I discover that
when I run the workflow I am being queried for the number to call
instead.
What am I doing incorrectly? I have attempted to research this with no success.
Thank you in advance for any responses

Re: creating call action items workflow app iOS with VoiceOver

[Ioana Gandrabur]

Hi, 

You have to add the contact or phone number before the call action. For example 
you can use the "phone number action

Apple Acquires Workflow App

[Alan Lemly]

The Workflow app got a lot of attention on this list when it came out a
couple of years back so I thought the below news item I got from Mac Rumors
via Lire might be of interest. I'm pasting the story after my signature.

Apple Acquires Popular Automation App Workflow

Wednesday March 22, 2017 4:48 pm PDT by Juli Clover

 

Apple has acquired well-known and popular automation app Workflow, reports
TechCrunch. The deal was reportedly finalized today for an unspecified sum.

 

Workflow, first released in 2014, is an automation tool that can essentially
do anything. It allows users to create a variety of workflows to accomplish
tasks like creating GIFs from a series of photos, pulling images from a web
page, translating an article, posting photos to multiple social networks at
once, calculating a tip, and tons more.

 

 

It is equipped with a built-in Gallery, which allows people to quickly find
and use a wide range of automation tasks, and it can be used to create
custom automations.

 

Apple is purchasing the Workflow app and the Workflow team, including Ari
Weinstein, Conrad Kramer, and Nick Frey, will be joining the company.

 

"We are thrilled to be joining Apple," said Weinstein in a statement.
"We've worked closely with Apple from the very beginning, from kickstarting
our company as students attending WWDC to developing and launching Workflow
and seeing its amazing success on the App Store. We can't wait to take our
work to the next level at Apple and contribute to products that touch people
across the world.

 

Apple confirmed the acquisition of Workflow, which notably received an Apple
Design Award in 2015 for its excellent accessibility features, likely one of
the reasons behind the purchase.

 

Typically apps acquired from Apple disappear from the App Store, but
Workflow will remain available and will be made free starting later today.
The Gallery will continue to be updated on a regular basis, as will app
integrations.

 

Beyond the app, it is not clear what Apple will do with Workflow in the
future, and whether it will be built into future versions of iOS and macOS,
but it is definitely a possibility. TechCrunch speculates that it could be
used alongside Siri in the future, or perhaps be the backbone of powerful
automation tools for the iPad.

 

Update: Workflow can now be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct
Link]

2 workflow app questions

First, I would like to hear about specific things people have done with work 
flow.

Second, does anyone know how, if at all, you can create a work flow that would 
let you send an audio message as a text to anyone whether or not they use an 
iPhone?
I tried what I thought would do it, and it is stuck on the messaging screen.

Re: Uses of Workflow App?

['Carol Pearson' via VIPhone]

Hi Denny,

Did you get any further with this Workflow project? I was interested so 
downloaded the app and have played a little but haven't had the time or 
energy to get quite this far, so will be interested in what you're now 
doing with it.

I am playing around with the settings for each action.  I have the
record audio action set to record on tap and to stop recording on tap.
I have the send email action set to not show the mail composer, added
in a generic subject, and set the contact to my work email.

The main issue I have still is that when I click the start workflow
button, I then need to click the start recording button.  When I do
the second button voiceover speaks and is captured on the recording.
I may play with setting the start recording option to instant or with
a delay.  I am also going to look at if I really need the copy to
clipboard action, or if it will work without it.  I am hoping I can
get rid of the need to click done once I am finished with the
recording.  As it is now I click the start recording, record my memo,
then click the stop recording button.  Then I need to click the done
button to get to the send email button.  Lots of extra clicking in
there, but a work in progress.

Re: Uses of Workflow App?

[Monica Jones]

I'm kind of the same as you on this app. It seems as though it takes more 
steps to get the task done than it would be to just go ahead and do it. I 
can't think of anything that I do that I would need this app, yet, I'm glad 
others have found it useful.

Subject: RE: Uses of Workflow App?

I'm sure for some users the Workflow app is great, but some of the examples 
I have read sound to me like they are not a big time saver. For example, 
using speed dial icons on the home screen is theoretically OK, but my first 
home screen is filled with the apps I use most often and if I put Speed Dial 
icons in a folder or on the second home screen, then I have to perform an 
action first to get to them, e.g. double tap the folder to open it or swipe 
to get to the second home screen. In this case I may as well double tap the 
Phone icon and if my most used people are in the Favorites and this is where 
I was when I closed the phone app, I basically have access to speed dials 
(the entries in my favorites) after performing a single double tap on the 
Phone icon which I can find super fast as it is in the bottom left corner of 
the screen.


If I need access to a recording on my computer, I use Dropvox. I can set the 
app to start recording when I open it so all I have to do is open the app, 
then when I'm done I have to double tap to stop the recording, but then it 
automatically uploads to whichever Dropbox folder I specified so as soon as 
the upload is done and the download on any PC where I have Dropbox 
installed, I have access to it in MP3 format.


These are just two examples, as I said, I am not trying to discredit the 
app, but just as some others I personally have yet to really find a good use 
for it.

Sieghard

Sieghard and others,

I appreciate the comments and what I'm haring is sort of what I expected 
when I started the thread.


I find it's much easier to make sure I've got all my contacts I regularly 
call set up appropriately and I simply ask Siri to call their mobile or 
other appropriate number and this works swimmingly about 98% of the time. I 
wouldn't think using Workflow for something like this would benefit me.


I'm sure the app is very accessible and should be applauded for that and 
hopefully serve as an incentive for other developers to follow suit. I was a 
bit surprised that AppleVis chose it as the top app for receipt of its 2015 
Golden Apple award because my sense from traffic on this list when the app 
came out which has been further supported by this thread is that folks are 
having a difficult time finding a use for the app.


I'm always receptive to new ideas and hope folks will continue to post if 
they come up with a convenient use of Workflow.

Re: Uses of Workflow App?

[Gordan Radić]

  
  
Hi!
For starters, let's conclude the Workflow app is not made specially
for the blind comunity. It's made for the sighted users in the first
place. Sighted users are more concentrated on camera and document
editing than the blind and most Workflow features are based on
photos and documents and to automate the tasks which would usually
take sevveral actions such as opening a few apps, finding special
screens etc etc.
Automation is also good for the blind but unfortunately, common
tasks offered by Workflow are not intended for us and we can't
benefit much from it. The main reason as I see it for Workflow to
win th Golden Apple or whatever is it called is because there are
too many unexperienced users who simply don't know how to use their
iDevices.
Sieghard gave a good example for speed dialing and if user doesn't
have speed dials on the first home screen opening a folder or
sviping to other home screens takes the same time as hiting the
Phone app and choose favorite from the favorites list. Fortunate for
me, I have my speed dials on the first home screen and it's not
because I'm slow in finding the Phone app, it's just because I like
it and want it that way but Sieghard has the point.
Maybe it is easier for unexperienced users to automate their every
day tasks to spare some time but on the other hand by doing this
they won't gain any experience in working without automation. As I
stated earlier, I found Workflow useful only for speed dialing and i
couldn't find other uses of it which suites my needs. I don't
publish pictures on FB and Twitter on regular basis, I don't share
articles via mail with my friends, I don't have any specific daily
routines so automation offered by Workflow is just not for me.

Subject: RE: Uses of Workflow App?

Sieghard and others,

I appreciate the comments and what I'm haring is sort of what I expected when I 
started the thread.

I find it's much easier to make sure I've got all my contacts I regularly call 
set up appropriately and I simply ask Siri to call their mobile or other 
appropriate number and this works swimmingly about 98% of the time. I wouldn't 
think using Workflow for something like this would benefit me.

I'm sure the app is very accessible and should be applauded for that and 
hopefully serve as an incentive for other developers to follow suit. I was a 
bit surprised that AppleVis chose it as the top app for receipt of its 2015 
Golden Apple award because my sense from traffic on this list when the app came 
out which has been further supported by this thread is that folks are having a 
difficult time finding a use for the app.

I'm always receptive to new ideas and hope folks will continue to post if they 
come up with a convenient use of Workflow.

Subject: RE: Uses of Workflow App?

I'm sure for some users the Workflow app is great, but some of the examples I 
have read sound to me like they are not a big time saver. For example, using 
speed dial icons on the home screen is theoretically OK, but my first home 
screen is filled with the apps I use most often and if I put Speed Dial icons 
in a folder or on the second home screen, then I have to perform an action 
first to get to them, e.g. double tap the folder to open it or swipe to get to 
the second home screen. In this case I may as well double tap the Phone icon 
and if my most used people are in the Favorites and this is where I was when I 
closed the phone app, I basically have access to speed dials (the entries in my 
favorites) after performing a single double tap on the Phone icon which I can 
find super fast as it is in the bottom left corner of the screen.

If I need access to a recording on my computer, I use Dropvox. I can set the 
app to start recording when I open it so all I have to do is open the app, then 
when I'm done I have to double tap to stop the recording, but then it 
automatically uploads to whichever Dropbox folder I specified so as soon as the 
upload is done and the download on any PC where I have Dropbox installed, I 
have access to it in MP3 format.

These are just two examples, as I said, I am not trying to discredit the app, 
but just as some others I personally have yet to really find a good use for it.

Hi!
Try to explore the Voice Memo sharing settings instead of copying to
the clipboard.
There's also a step called "Exit Workflow" which is good to have
last in order.

Re: Uses of Workflow App?

[Denny Schwab]

I just created one that will do a voice recording on the Apple Watch,
then email that audio file to my work email address.  I see this as
something to use during a meeting to quickly record my own notes
during the meeting and have those recordings sent to my email address
for me to review later.

A fellow idiot here, krister, so consider yourself in good company
because I am a genius when it comes to fragrance selection and eating
lots of food. And who doesn't like eating?

I am also interested in learning about how one would go about using
the app to speed-dial from the home screen. is it complicated to set
up?

Re: Uses of Workflow App?

[Gordan Radić]

  
  
Hi!
I was fortunate enough to get this app as a gift on Applevises fifth
birthday lottery because I wanted to check out what I can do with
it. My primary goal was to create contact icons on the homescreen so
I can dial them right from there and I found the way to do that,
thanks to Workflow Gallery feature with shared and predefined
workflows.
As I was exploring the functions I found many ways to use it but
nothing I really need. For example, you can create a workflow with
which you can:
1. take a photo;
2. share it on Facebook;
3. copy it to DropBox and share the link to it via e-mail.
So, when you have your workflow set you activate it's icon, camera
is beeing opened and after you take a shot the Post to Facebook
screen opens with the photo you took attached. You Enter the message
or whatever and hit Post. After that the photo you took is beeing
uploaded to Dropbox and the new mail window opens with the link to
the photo already inserted in the message body so you just need to
enter the recepient and subject line and hit send.
You can perform loads of tasks like this one but only if you have a
serious need for them. I personally never share photos on FB or
sharing DB links to my photos on regular basis so I can do it
manually from time to time but for someone who's crazy about
shooting ans sharing this could be really helpful. I'm happy with
the speed dial feature.

WORKFLOW APP

['carol.pearso...@googlemail.com' via VIPhone]

Hi all,

I still haven't really understood the concept here yet or got an idea of what 
the Workflow app is actually achieving for everyone out there so, anyone care 
to enlighten me a little further, please?

Does it basically use other apps to get work done?

Examples of use would be interesting ...

Re: This will probably not work but... a question or two about the workflow app

[Alex Hall]

I don't think so, because there's no way to "share" that information. Workflows 
run on their own, or they run from a Share Sheet, so I can't see a way to 
trigger one for a notification or recent call. However, you could use the 
three-finger quadruple tap after VoiceOver speaks the number, to copy the last 
spoken phrase to your clipboard.

Re: Workflow app - Caan some examples of how it is being used be provided, please?

[Alex Hall]

The vibrating timer is one example, though you must have it open to run for 
more than ten minutes, which I didn't know about before. You might have a 
"local search", which pops up a text field where you type a business type, then 
shows you a list of local business matching that search; tap one to call it or 
get an alert with more options. You could have something where you type text, 
and that text is automatically sent to a Dropbox or iCloud file. A popup 
showing you all your calendar events for as many days as you set it to. A quick 
way to save links to a file in a cloud storage service. A QR/bar code scanner. 
A shortcut where you type text, and it's sent as a tweet. That's all that comes 
to mind for the moment, but have a look in the gallery; even if you don't use 
anything from there, maybe that will give you more ideas.

Workflow app - Caan some examples of how it is being used be provided, please?

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

Hi,

I bought the Workflow app. I listened to the AppleVis podcast and thought I'd 
be able to use it somehow.

My creativity must be lacking, as I haven't  been able to think of a use for it 
yet.

If anyone who has used it to create a WorkFlow can give an example or two, I'd 
appreciate hearing about how. Maybe that will jumpstart my creative juices.

Thank, Keith

Re: Did price of WorkFlow app go up to $6.99

[Esther]

Hi Christina, 

Unfortunately, the price of the workflow app did just go up today from $2.99 to 
$6.99.  It was released in December as a new app, and some of the review 
articles, such as the one at the MacRumors site, stated that the introductory 
price of $2.99 would only be good for a limited time.

Your identification is correct; the App Store URL is:
• Workflow: Powerful Automation Made Simple by Desk Connect, Inc. (current 
price $6.99)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/workflow-powerful-automation/id915249334?mt=8

I only found out the new price when I checked just now because of your post. 
Sorry to give you the bad news.

Esther

RE: still can't use the Workflow app

A podcast would be nice, when I read about Voiceover improvements I tried to

The easiest wy is to find the action in the middle of the screen, and swipe a 
finger down until you hear "add to workflow". Double tap, and that should do 
it. Once the update reaches me, I'll do a podcast for AppleVis on this. I 
helped beta test it, so I know this new version quite well and can say that, at 
least for me, VoiceOver was working well overall. Swiping through lists of 
actions can go kind of strange sometimes, but that's the only problem I know of 
for now.

Version 1.1 of the Workflow app was released today, and one of its new
features was VoiceOver compatibility.  On my 5S running 8.1.3, however, I
don't notice any difference, and I can't get the app to work.  When I first
run it, I must activate the Get Started button.  Then I am required to
create a workflow to create an animated gif.  There is one action, Take
Photo, which I can drag, favorite or activate.  There are two tabs, Action
and Workflow, but changing tabs doesn't do much to the screen.  There are
two pages, but changing pages doesn't do anything.  Can anybody suggest what
I'm missing, or if this can't work with anything below a 6?

It is mostly usable, just find your actions, double tap and hold, and move your 
finger to the right to add them. Moving actions within a workflow is all trial 
and error. I can tell you that the next major update will be much more usable 
with VoiceOver, so stay tuned.

Hello everyone,

Has anyone been able to get the workflow app to fuction as it functionought?
Curious to know how others are using this program if at all. I am using an 
iPhone 5 64GB.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Does anyone know where I can find this podcast? Was it a podcast from the 
perspective of a VO user or mainstream? Either way, I’d like to try to listen 
to it.

RE: Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It

[Richard Turner]

Paul,

Have you written to the developer of List Recorder about making the sharing to 
DropBox part of the app?

I did and she said she was working on it but that was over a year ago.

I’m wondering if I’m the only one who has been asking the developer to continue 
to improve List Recorder.

Hi Alex, Hall,

 

In a podcast, the workflow app was brought to my attention as well. There is 
not much that I’d like to automate, but here’s one situation. Do you think the 
workflow app is suitable for the following?

I have list recorder installed. This lets you record audio, organize it etc 
etc. One repetitive task I’m doing daily again and again is, that I need to get 
my recordings into dropbox. To do this, in list recorder, I need to hit share, 
in a new dialog the audio functions button, then in a new dialog the open in 
button, then in a new dialog the dropbox button. To begin with, is this 
automatable using workflow to begin with?

 

Once list recorder starts transferring the recording over to the dropbox app, 
dropbox itself opens. I then need to enter my password, then I need to hit save 
in the upper right corner of the dropbox iphone app, and then the upload to the 
dropbox.com <http://dropbox.com>  site begins.

 

Next, I need to switch back to list recorder, do a back button, and then the 
workflow is finished for this file. As you see, it takes a lot of tapping, 
flicking, and switching apps. Is this a scenario that the workflow app can 
automate? Very curious, because this process is tedious. Hope to hear back.

 

Regards,

Paul.

Yes, this app requires iOS8. Half of its power comes from the ability to add 
your workflows to the share sheet, so you can do whatever you want when sharing 
webpages, contacts, text, and more. This functionality is only supported in 
iOS8 and above, so I'm not surprised they put this limitation on the app. There 
might be a version for iOS7 and below, I don't know.

Hi, thanks for sharing info about this app. I have a question. Are the work 
Flows created shareable? I am interested in this app but I would almost 
prefer to use some already created to copy from so that I can learn. I learn 
from copying and then tweaking, then eventually starting from scratch. :)

Hi all,
You may have heard about the recently released Workflow app, which 
provides automation for iOS. Here's the AppleVis page for it:
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple
 
<http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple>

I've spent a few days with it, and once I worked out how to use it, it 
became possible to make workflows. There are VoiceOver bugs, but the 
developers want to gather feedback and fix those. I'm hoping an update in 
the next few months will make what is already a usable app into one that 
is easy and fun, just as it is for sighted people. Even now, though, it is 
possible to make workflows.

The one I just completed is a vibrating timer. You give it a value (6 or 
over) and it vibrates your phone ad intervals to let you know how much 
time has passed. It vibrates twice when a quarter of your time is gone, 
twice again halfway, twice again at three quarters, three times when you 
have one minute, and finally four times when time is up. A friend on 
Twitter gave me the idea, and he uses a similar setup to silently keep 
track of the time during speeches, meetings, etc. So long as you know how 
long you have, this can use vibrations to keep you on track.

What I just described sounds like an app, but it's not. It uses the 
Workflow app to run, but it sits on my home screen and I can launch it, 
type in my time and off it goes. Workflow allows you to automate saving or 
downloading files, making or sharing calendar appointments or reminders, 
emailing, and tons more. It's currently $3, and if this is the kind of 
thing you're into, I suggest picking it up. The app is, as I said, 
currently usable with VO 

Re: Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It

[Alex Hall]

Your first problem is that Dropbox isn't automatically logging you in. That's a 
setting in Dropbox you can adjust, I believe.

The larger question is whether you could automate that. I don't know List 
Recorder, but Workflow does let you save sharing workflows. So, you'd hit 
Share, then Run Workflow, then choose the workflow you want (in your case, it'd 
be something like "Save to Dropbox"). I haven't used Dropbox sharing workflows, 
but I think that's all you need to do, since you can specify the Dropbox folder 
in the workflow. Each time it runs, it saves to that folder. You can also have 
it prompt you to choose a folder if you want.

Short answer: probably, but I don't know List Recorder well enough to say for 
sure. In the meantime, either give it a shot, or have Dropbox save your 
password, or consider the Dropvox app to automatically save recordings to 
Dropbox.

Re: Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It

[Christina C.]

Hi, thanks for sharing info about this app. I have a question. Are the work 
Flows created shareable? I am interested in this app but I would almost prefer 
to use some already created to copy from so that I can learn. I learn from 
copying and then tweaking, then eventually starting from scratch. :)

Thanks :)

Re: Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It

[Alex Hall]

An action is a dimmed button. So, that tutorial has an action to make gif, 
meaning that VO will say "make gif, dimmed button". Double tap and hold that, 
with your finger in the center of the screen, and drag your finger to the 
right. That's how you'll add any action. To get to the list of actions, while 
making a workflow, double tap the Actions tab or do a three-finger swipe left. 
Find the action, and double tap and hold, like before.

Alex, on my 5S running 8.1.2, or whatever lesser version we're running, I can 
get nowhere with this app.  There are actions and Workflow tabs, and the chance 
to create an animated gif, but I can't get to the supposed hundred actions one 
can include in one's sequences, or indeed anywhere at all with the app.  I'd 
love to know how you did so.

Hi all,
You may have heard about the recently released Workflow app, which provides 
automation for iOS. Here's the AppleVis page for it:
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple

I've spent a few days with it, and once I worked out how to use it, it 
became possible to make workflows. There are VoiceOver bugs, but the 
developers want to gather feedback and fix those. I'm hoping an update in 
the next few months will make what is already a usable app into one that is 
easy and fun, just as it is for sighted people. Even now, though, it is 
possible to make workflows.

The one I just completed is a vibrating timer. You give it a value (6 or 
over) and it vibrates your phone ad intervals to let you know how much time 
has passed. It vibrates twice when a quarter of your time is gone, twice 
again halfway, twice again at three quarters, three times when you have one 
minute, and finally four times when time is up. A friend on Twitter gave me 
the idea, and he uses a similar setup to silently keep track of the time 
during speeches, meetings, etc. So long as you know how long you have, this 
can use vibrations to keep you on track.

What I just described sounds like an app, but it's not. It uses the Workflow 
app to run, but it sits on my home screen and I can launch it, type in my 
time and off it goes. Workflow allows you to automate saving or downloading 
files, making or sharing calendar appointments or reminders, emailing, and 
tons more. It's currently $3, and if this is the kind of thing you're into, 
I suggest picking it up. The app is, as I said, currently usable with VO if 
you work around the issues it has, but the team is seeking feedback from VO 
users and hopes to improve things in the near future. I'm not part of this 
app in any way, I just really like what it can do and wanted to spread the 
word.

Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
You may have heard about the recently released Workflow app, which provides 
automation for iOS. Here's the AppleVis page for it:
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple

I've spent a few days with it, and once I worked out how to use it, it became 
possible to make workflows. There are VoiceOver bugs, but the developers want 
to gather feedback and fix those. I'm hoping an update in the next few months 
will make what is already a usable app into one that is easy and fun, just as 
it is for sighted people. Even now, though, it is possible to make workflows.

The one I just completed is a vibrating timer. You give it a value (6 or over) 
and it vibrates your phone ad intervals to let you know how much time has 
passed. It vibrates twice when a quarter of your time is gone, twice again 
halfway, twice again at three quarters, three times when you have one minute, 
and finally four times when time is up. A friend on Twitter gave me the idea, 
and he uses a similar setup to silently keep track of the time during speeches, 
meetings, etc. So long as you know how long you have, this can use vibrations 
to keep you on track.

What I just described sounds like an app, but it's not. It uses the Workflow 
app to run, but it sits on my home screen and I can launch it, type in my time 
and off it goes. Workflow allows you to automate saving or downloading files, 
making or sharing calendar appointments or reminders, emailing, and tons more. 
It's currently $3, and if this is the kind of thing you're into, I suggest 
picking it up. The app is, as I said, currently usable with VO if you work 
around the issues it has, but the team is seeking feedback from VO users and 
hopes to improve things in the near future. I'm not part of this app in any 
way, I just really like what it can do and wanted to spread the word.
