Your workflow, in the menu
Put repeatable work where you need it.
When a task is specific to your tools or your team, a custom script can connect it to the Finder context you already have.
Send the right Finder context
Choose the file and folder contexts where the Action appears. Limit file types when a script is meant for a particular kind of input.
Try your script before it becomes routine
Use Test Run in the script editor to choose test items and inspect the output. The script runs once with the selected Finder context; your code decides how to handle the items.
Your code, with clear boundaries.
Begin with an editable example or browse the Script Gallery for a starting point. Keep a dedicated Action for each workflow, then adjust its code and inputs. Only run scripts you understand and trust.
