At a slightly more advanced level, Automator workflows can be saved as plug-ins for certain applications and processes, including the Mac OS X Finder, iCal, Image Capture, PDF printing services, and more. At the basic level, a workflow can be saved as a workflow file that can be opened in Automator, or as an application that can be launched and run like any other application. If you're an Automator user, you're probably aware that it's possible to save an Automator workflow in a variety of ways.
