[SOLVED] Open Url command to NULL, i.e. just launch the url like curl/wget and don't open with an app

[zeltak]

hi all

i have a need to launch http links as a command to control my media player (roon)

i use this which works very well

yet it also launchers a new safari tab

is there a way open the Url command to NULL, i.e. just launch the url like curl/wget and don't open with safari? like sending the output to null via cur?

thx!

Excellent - you have significantly improved my working-from-home automation! I'm using this approach to trigger a virtual button in Homebridge to turn my "on the air" lamp red when WebEx activates and off when it quits.

Hey Z,

Search for URL in the insert actions by name dialog...

See the Get a URL action.
