Adding Actions to Your Workspace

Actions are the building blocks of your workspace. Each action performs a specific task when you launch your workspace.

Action Types

Launch Applications

Open any installed application on your system.

Tip: Great for launching your editor, browser, or communication tools.

Open URLs

Navigate to specific web pages automatically.

Tip: Useful for opening dashboards, documentation, or monitoring tools.

Run Commands

Execute shell commands, PowerShell scripts, or batch files.

Example:

npm run dev

Tip: Start servers, run scripts, or perform custom operations.

Delays

Add pauses between actions to ensure proper sequencing.

Tip: Some applications need time to start before others can connect to them.

Best Practices

  1. Order matters: Place dependencies first (e.g., start database before backend)
  2. Use delays: Add 2-5 second delays between heavy applications
  3. Test incrementally: Add one action at a time and test
  4. Use variables: Make paths and URLs dynamic with variables

Example Configuration

1. Launch VS Code → Open project folder
2. Delay → 2 seconds
3. Launch Terminal → Run dev server
4. Delay → 3 seconds
5. Open URL → localhost:3000

Next: Using Variables →
