A checklist for customizing Mac automation templates
Turn a starter template into a dependable workflow without inheriting unsafe example settings.

Treat every template as a draft
A template demonstrates structure. Its example coordinates, shortcuts, folders and timing are not automatically correct for your Mac.
Replace every target
Select the intended application and update mouse positions, files, folders, websites and keyboard input.
Review repeats and timing
Set the repeat count to one and increase waits for the first test.
Remove unnecessary actions
A smaller workflow is easier to understand. Disable or delete any action that does not contribute to the desired result.
Confirm the stop path
Keep the visible stop control or shortcut available before enabling repetition.
Name the finished workflow clearly
Use a title that describes the outcome and target so the macro remains understandable later.
