Configuration
You can set Workflow Environment Variable to control some aspects of this workflow.
custom_query
This will be and
’ed with the query used for getting files from Google Drive. See Searching Files for syntax, some examples:
- Exclude all folders and PDF files from search results:
mimeType != 'application/pdf' and mimeType != 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder'
- Limit search results to items in the folder with ID
0Bx_0bq…F2N
:'0Bx_0bq…F2N' in parents
To find the ID of a specific folder, navigate to that folder in your web browser and should be able to see the ID in the URL.
open_args
If you want to open links in a specific browser you can create a Workflow Environment Variable named open_args
with a value of:
- Safari:
-b com.apple.Safari
- Firefix:
-b org.mozilla.firefox
