ReleaseNotes

Author.@JMichaelTX

PURPOSE:

  • Open ANY URL (including custom URL schemes) passed by the KM Web Server

HOW TO USE:

  1. Create a URL like this:
    http://127.0.0.1:4490/action.html?macro=<YourMacroUUID>&value=<TheURLYouWantToOpen>
  • where the <YourMacroUUID> is the UUID of this macro
  • and the <TheURLYouWantToOpen> is just that, but MUST be URL encoded.
    .
  1. Execute the above URL from anywhere that will process normal, web, URLs.
    .
  2. I use this mostly to open files and folders on my Mac.
  • So, I have another macro that will create a rich-text hyperlink to the selected file/folder in the Finder.
  • MACRO: [KM] Make Link/URL to Open File/Folder via KM Web

Make sure the macro's public web trigger is enabled, and use the macro's UUID (which you can get from any of the "Or by script" triggers) in your URL:

So to run my WebTest macro from my local browser I'd use

http://127.0.0.1:4490/action.html?macro=46DD0A9E-58A7-4E17-8D80-B74378491484
