Run KM Macro from Desktop Icon?

Questions & Suggestions
1

I know I should already know how to do this, but apparently I don't. I want to run a macro by clicking on an icon on the desktop. I know I can use KM's URL Scheme to create a link, but I don't know how to put it on the desktop.

Thanks.

Hey @DanThomas, try following:

  • Add following applescript to script editor (you can find in under Applications/Utilities)
  • File → Export → File Format: Application
  • Save it to your Desktop

tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
do script "Your Macro Name"
end tell

You can also select "Export as trigger file" from the File>Export menu in Keyboard maestro.
