I'm trying to set up a macro that performs a share menu action on the selected file in Finder.
The action is an extension called "Add to Under My Roof Inbox." It's from an app called Under My Roof with the purpose of importing files directly to its "Inbox" through iCloud.
This extension is visible when I click the share menu button in the Finder window, but I'm having trouble automating this action in SoundFlow. The Open & Select Item in Popup Menu will activate the share menu, but won't click the extension. If I wait a moment, then run the macro again (with a Streamdeck button while Finder is focused), the action will SOMETIMES complete as expected, but not consistently. I tried duplicating the action with a "Wait" command in between, but this doesn't work at all.
I tried to recreate the functionality in Shortcuts, but the extension doesn't seem to be available as an action.
What else can I try?
Thanks for your time!

This will automatically click the "Add" button when the Under My Roof popup window appears by pressing enter on the keyboard. If you don't want to do this, comment or delete the last two lines of this script.const shareType = "Add to Under My Roof Inbox"; sf.ui.finder.appActivateMainWindow() sf.ui.finder.focusedWindow.invalidate() // Define window elements const finder = sf.ui.finder const finderWindowToolbar = finder.mainWindow.children.whoseRole.is("AXToolbar").first; const shareButton = finderWindowToolbar.buttons.whoseDescription.is("Share").first; // Click "Share" button shareButton.elementClick() // Wait for Share popover menu const popover = shareButton.children.whoseFullRole.is("AXPopover").first; popover.elementWaitFor(); sf.wait({intervalMs:100}) // Define popover menu elements const hostingView = popover.children.whoseFullRole.is("AXGroup:AXHostingView").first; const shareButtonToClick = hostingView.children.whoseDescription.is(shareType).first; // Click desired share button shareButtonToClick.elementClick() //Optional return keypress to Add sf.wait({ intervalMs: 500 }) sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "enter" })FYI - You can use this script to click anything in the share popup window by changing the
shareTypevalue in the first line of the script
