How it works

Web Search

The workflow will:

1. Save the search keyword to {var:keyword}.
2. Replace {query} in the list.csv arg volume with {var:keyword}.
3. Open the arg (supposed to be a url) and copy {var:query} to clipboard.

Open csv

1. The workflow will check given command first.

• Open file if command not exist or without permission.
