Open: Do → Advanced Actions (commands only) → Add action
Steps
- Choose action category Launch Application/Game, select Launch EA Game, and click Add action.
- Expand the action card. Configure the Fields below; check Editor defaults for your context and any operation-dependent fields.
- Choose resource values from real app pickers. Set output Platform separately from the trigger Where setting when the action offers it.
- Use Move action up / Move action down to position this action, then save the containing command, automation, timer or SheevPad button.
