open adium automator

[stealthsniper96]

How can I get automator to open adium as part of my workflow? sorr if this seems dumb I'm just starting to play with Automator.

Search for the action "Launch Application" Select that and drag it to the workflow window on the right and select Adium for the list.

ok thanks.

Is there any way I can get it to reload a web page (in opera) as part of the workflow?

I'm now intrigued by what this workflow is supposed to do. I've never worked with Automator, so I can't help you there with the Opera question.

sorry to sort of hijack the thread, but is there an option to open adium on startup? i've leafed through the options and i can't seem to find one..

Yes, the easiest way to to do this is to embed an Applescript into your workflow and use the following code

activate application "Opera"
tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "r" using {command down}
end tell

(You might have to adjust the keystroke if Command-R is not the keystroke for reloading a page, but I think it is).

Right click Adium in the Dock and click Open at Login.
