Step 2

Add the workspace

Workday Launcher opens a chosen set of applications and websites at the start of your workday. It is useful when your routine begins with the same tools but your start time changes between weekdays.

Quick answer

Choose the active weekdays, set a time for each day, add installed apps and trusted website URLs, then enable the automation while Tapquence is allowed to start at login.

1. Select weekdays and start times

Choose only the days you work. Use one time for several days or set a different start time for each weekday.

2. Add applications

Select installed applications from the available list. Include only the tools you actually need at the beginning of the day.

3. Add websites

Enter the full address of each trusted work site. They open in your default browser.

4. Enable startup behaviour

Scheduled automations need Tapquence to be running. Allow Tapquence to start at login when prompted so the launcher can operate after a restart.

5. Test with Launch now

Use the manual launch control before enabling the schedule. Remove unnecessary apps and fix any invalid website addresses.

Step 3

Test the result

Run the smallest useful example once and verify the result before enabling repetition or relying on the complete workflow.

SuccessLaunch now opens the complete workspace once, with every intended app and website available.
TipTapquence must be running at the scheduled time. Enable launch at login only after the manual Launch now test succeeds.
Step 4

Troubleshoot

1. Check the starting state

Confirm the installed app, target, folder or meeting is the one described in this guide.

2. Test one change

Reduce the workflow to the smallest failing action and change only one setting at a time.

3. Re-run safely

Use harmless data, add more time where needed and keep the stop control available.
