Make sure you already have DiscordChatExporter and Mono properly installed ([instructions here](https://github.com/RenanYudi/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/macOS-usage-instructions)).

## Creating a Workflow with Automator
**1.** Search for `Automator.app` on Spotlight (⌘+SPACE) and open it
**2.** Create a new `Workflow` file

**3.** Search for `Shell` and Drag it to the empty space on the right

**4.** Paste the following into the empty text box:
```# Info: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter
TOKEN=<token>
TOKENTYPE=<BOT/USER>
CHANNEL=<channel>
EXEPATH=<exe>
FILENAME=<name>
EXPORTDIRECTORY=<dir>
EXPORTFORMAT=<format>
# Available export formats: PlainText, HtmlDark, HtmlLight, Csv
cd $EXEPATH || exit
if [[ "$TOKENTYPE" == "BOT" ]]; then
ISBOTYES=-b
fi
PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
mono DiscordChatExporter.Cli.exe -t $TOKEN $ISBOTYES -c $CHANNEL -f $EXPORTFORMAT -o exporttmp
CURRENTTIME=`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"`
if [[ "$EXPORTFORMAT" == "PlainText" ]]; then
mv "exporttmp" $EXPORTDIRECTORY/$FILENAME-$CURRENTTIME.txt
elif [[ "$EXPORTFORMAT" == "Html"* ]]; then
mv "exporttmp" $EXPORTDIRECTORY/$FILENAME-$CURRENTTIME.html
elif [[ "$EXPORTFORMAT" == "Csv" ]]; then
mv "exporttmp" $EXPORTDIRECTORY/$FILENAME-$CURRENTTIME.csv
else
exit
fi
exit
```
**5.** Replace:
`<token>` with your [Token](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/Obtaining-Token-and-Channel-IDs)
`<BOT/USER>` If the Token is from a bot replace it with `BOT`, if it's from a user, `USER`.
`<channel>` with a [Channel ID](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/Obtaining-Token-and-Channel-IDs)
`<exe>` with the .exe path (e.g. /Users/user/Desktop/DiscordChatExporter)
`<name>` with a filename without spaces
`<dir>` with the export directory without quotes (e.g. /Users/user/Documents/Discord\ Exports)
`<format>` with one of the available export formats.
**6.** Run the Workflow (this may take a while to complete). If the export file was created, you're ready to save the Workflow at the Exporter exe's directory.

## Scheduling Exports with Calendar

**2.** Create a New Event (⌘+N).

* Set `starts` hour to the time you want the Workflow to be executed
* Set `repeat` frequency
* Set `alert` as `Custom…`, `Open File`, `Other…` and select your Workflow file, and `At time of event`
