Installing an Action Pack
Our Automator action packs are self-contained. That is, all actions are embedded within the
action pack application itself. To install a set of our Automator actions, perform the following
steps:
•
Download the desired Automator action pack from the Mac App Store.
•
If the main action pack application does not launch automatically after it has been
downloaded to your computer, then launch it. This is necessary in order to “register” its
actions with Automator.
NOTE: The main action pack application must be relaunched any time an updated version of the
action pack is downloaded, in order to register it with Automator.
For action packs that include a large number of actions, the launch process may take a few
moments to complete.
•
Once the process is complete, a window will be displayed, showing a list of included
actions, along with their version numbers. In addition, if this is a new installation, you
will be prompted to register the action pack by entering a serial number.
Example of Main Action Pack Window
•
You may now quit the action pack application, and may begin using the actions within
Automator.
NOTE: If Automator is already running, then you will need to quit Automator and re-launch it in
order for the actions to appear.
