Hi Folks, I bought this app just to give it a try and I can't really make heads or tails of it. I start it and hit the getting started button and there is a thing that says drag take photo to the right and one that says take photo action. I can't seem to get past this. Is there a podcast or something anywhere showing some examples of how this works? Thanks.

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.

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.

I created a new workflow. I then added the record audio action to the workflow. I added the copy to clipboard action to the workflow. I then added the send email action to the workflow. 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.
