IOS – Launch Center Pro URL-scheme syntax for launching an action

automationiosurl

Recently I've been using the Workflow app to create home screen shortcuts that launch third party apps via their respective URL-schemes. This avoids the annoying initial time it takes LCP to load up its home grid on my iPhone 5. However, I've been unable to move one particular third party URL-scheme onto my home screen because it involves an unfortunately necessary lc-callback, and thus needs to be launched from within LCP in order to work. (Lc-callbacks are LCP's special workaround for when an app doesn't support URL chaining via x-callback-url. One has to manually return to LCP from the third party app, but once done the workflow may continue on.)

Does anyone know LCP's own specific URL scheme syntax for launching an action? I've tried things like 'launch://action={{ACTION_NAME}}' but this only opens LCP and nothing else.

Use a mix of the action ID (the name won't work, but every action has its own ID) and the url action. It will look like this:

launchpro://?url=[action:170]

To find the ID, edit an action and scroll to the bottom, you'll find the action there by the edge of the screen.
