An exciting workflow/automation app for iPhone / iPad geeks like me!

A rather large squeal of excitement on a Sunday morning!
(Sad, I know. My husband is looking at me with that 'oh dear, you are a such geek' look!)  

I have just downloaded and tried out a brand new app called Workflow that makes use of the great new features of iOS 8.

I know it will come in sooooo handy for all sorts of things I haven't even imagined yet!  If you are a geek like me, check it out.  It is discounted by 40% for a limited time a a launch special ($3.29 currently).

Workflow allows you to create 'workflows' on your iOS device to perform a series of actions/steps with just one touch.  You can set these workflows up as apps on your home screen, or as 'extensions' to other apps.  (Check out this iTandCoffee article about some great App Extensions for the Photos app.)

For example, you can create a 'mail merge' (select a group of contacts and send them individual emails personally addressed to each individual), save all the photos from a web page, edit multiple images, make animated gifs (this one is the one I am sure I will use the most), and so, so much more.  

Here is the article that I read about Workflow this morning:  Workflow for iOS aims to simplify automation of complex multi-step tasks                                                                

And, here is how Workflow is described in the App Store (click here to see Workflow in the App Store).

"Workflow is your personal automation tool, enabling you to drag and drop any combination of actions to create powerful workflows.

Workflow includes over 100 actions, including those for Contacts, Calendar, Maps, Music, Photos, Camera, Reminders, Safari, AirDrop, Twitter, Facebook, Dropbox, Evernote, and iCloud Documents, to name a few.

For example, you can use Workflow to:
* Make animated GIFs
* Add a home screen icon that calls a loved one 
* Make PDFs from Safari or any other app
* Get directions to the nearest coffee shop in one tap
* Tweet the song you're listening to
* Get all of the images on a web page
* Send a message including the last screenshot you took
* And so much more...

Your workflow creations can be launched from inside the Workflow app or from other apps using Workflow's Action Extension. You can even export a workflow as a standalone app on your home screen."
