Automation Blocks - trigger kbar action

[default61f696g87sa4]

Hello,

I have a fairly niche use case, but I use automation blocks to run macros from my stream deck, utilising Bitfocus Companion and HTML commands. 

I have a couple of kbar actions that I would like to trigger from my streamdeck. Is there a way I can launch a kbar action from inside automation blocks?

Thank you.

You can execute Automation Blocks scripts from Kbar, but I don't think there is a way to execute Kbar actions from Automation Blocks. That would require a mechanism provided by Kbar to remote-exectue the actions and as far as I know, Kbar does not offer that. 
However, depending on the types of actions you have, you can implement the same actions in Automation Blocks, too. If you have an "Effects and Presets" button, for example, you can use the Apply Preset block, or if you have a button which triggers a script, you can use the Execute Code block. Or if you have a button, which runs a menu command, you can use the Execute Menu Command block.

Bottom line: Most likely, you cannot trigger a Kbar button from Automation Blocks, but everything that can be triggered with a Kbar button can probably also be implemented as an Automation Blocks script.

Thank you! got this to work with the execute code block!
