Editorial Workflows

App Store Linker

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: App Store Linker generates App Store Affiliate Links for Mac, iPhone and iPad apps.

While writing, simply select the text with the apps name and run the workflow. You will be presented with a list of possible matches, upon tapping on the correct item, the selected text will be replaced with a markdown link.
