This is basically like recording a macroand it allows you to have your Mac copy your actions automatically. You can also click the Record button to record a series of mouse clicks and typing events on your computer, allowing you to automatically perform them later. For example, you could create a Folder action that takes images you add to a certain folder, creates a backup copy, and then shrinks them down for you. You can add multiple actions from the left pane and arrange them in the order you like via drag-and-drop to perform many operations on the items in order. Click the File menu, click Save, and enter a name for your service. You can then select actions from the left pane. You may also be able to right-click or Control-click the text, depending on the application. At the top of the window, we can then choose what we want the service to work with. A quick web search will lead you to many different examples of things you can do with it. Automator is one of them, offering a simple way to automate repetitive tasks without any third-party software.
