Launch Steam Game

Requirements and availability

Installed Steam game selected from local discovery.

Picker contexts: automation, timer, command, pad.

Behavior

Resolve appId, require selection and invoke Steam launch.

Configure in the app

Open: Do → Advanced Actions (commands only) → Add action

Steps

1. Choose action category Launch Application/Game, select Launch Steam Game, and click Add action.
2. Expand the action card. Configure the Fields below; check Editor defaults for your context and any operation-dependent fields.
3. Choose resource values from real app pickers. Set output Platform separately from the trigger Where setting when the action offers it.
4. Use Move action up / Move action down to position this action, then save the containing command, automation, timer or SheevPad button.

Limitations

• Picker availability does not supply missing event variables. Check prerequisites and originating provider.
• An action return value is not automatically a sequence variable. Only documented producers create template outputs.
