I have a workflow that I want to run when a file or folder is added to a specific folder. How do I do this? I've got it to the point where if a file is added, the finder window kind of flashes but the workflow doesn't actually run. I'm running Mavericks (10.9.1).

What exactly is your workflow supposed to do? I'm guessing you made the folder action in Automator? Please post a description of the actions that are in your workflow or if it is not to big a screenshot of your workflow and we'll take it from there. If you made the folder action in Applescript please post the entire code.
