    Desired Workflow

    Press a button, Keychain Access opens in Finder

    Question

    The LAUNCH APPLICATION Action does not find Keychain Access.app. How would I open this Utility in the Mac Utilities folder?

        Try selecting the app in the finder, and press option-command-C to copy the path, then try pasting that path into the action? (I can’t remember if the action accepts file paths like that off the top of my head, but it’s worth a shot?)

            Didn't work. Doesn't accept file paths.

                Booo :(. I’ll check it out in the morning when I’m at my computer and see what the fix is. What OS version are you running?

                  Use the "Browse..." to navigate to it :)

                  It will be in the Utilities folder of your Applications.

                    And here as a script:

                    sf.app.launch({
    path: "/System/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app",
});

                    Thank you Christian! So obvious, now that you explain it. Why did that app not show up in LAUNCH APPLICATION in the first place? What makes it different from the hundreds of other apps on my computer that did show up in that list?

                      In Catalina, Apple moved some system apps into another folder (/System/Applications). It doesn't look like it when you browse in Finder, because they made some magic there, but the underlying architecture changed significantly.
