About Woolamaloo Automator Actions
If you are an iTunes U administrator, you likely already know how to manage your site using Apple’s iTunes desktop application. And while iTunes is powerful, simple and straightforward to use, it can become cumbersome, even tedious, to do so whenever you need to make more than just a handful of changes to your iTunes U site.

In order to help administrators perform routine maintenance on their sites, Apple has made a web services interface to iTunes U available. The difficulty, however, using the web service is its seeming complexity — especially for non-programmers or those not well-versed with XML tools, such as XMLSchema and XQuery.

That is where the Woolamaloo Automator actions can help. The Woolamaloo actions encapsulate many of the iTunes U web services in a form that non-programmers can easily use — a set of Mac OS X Automator actions. The Woolamaloo actions can be configured using Apple’s desktop workflow tool, Automator, and can be combined to perform routine iTunes U administrative tasks — even tasks of arbitrary complexity. Many more features.
