Rewrite Automator apps
Automator was a useful macOS utility for creating small, simple apps that performed various tasks. You may have Automator apps you created yourself or downloaded from the web and they are great for repetitive tasks. Automator was the simplest way to create a Mac app.
Automator apps that load, rarely work. However, sometimes adding a missing action, selecting a magic variable or some other simple tweak will get them running. Put the Automator app and Shortcuts conversion side by side and look at what each action does. Tweak the Shortcuts actions to mimic the Automator actions.
