Automate a Hazel Rule with a script, shortcut or ...

Hi

Has anybody been able to turn on or off a rule from outside of Hazel?
Either by a script, Mac shortcut, Key macro or....

Thanks beforehand.

Hazel has AppleScript support for that.

Thanks your response, but where can I find some examples and/or documentation?

You can search around for general AppleScript tutorials. The manual has some specifics about how to use the AppleScript with Hazel.

Another option is to save an empty file (such as with “echo > flag” whenever you want the rule to be active (or inactive), and then check for the presence (or absence) of the file “flag” as one of the rule’s triggering conditions.
