Make an utility with automator which opens a specific folder with terminal and runs the 'compass watch' script

Question

I have this automator setup which allows you to open a folder with terminal. The thing I want is that after the folder is opened via terminal, it should run the compass watch script.

This is what I currently have but I don't seem to find the solution myself. I tried adding some applescript and some bash, but nothing seems to work. Anyone know the solution?

Try this :

Add the "Run AppleScript" action in your workflow

If the compass watch script is a file, use this AppleScript script

on run {input, parameters}
    set compasswatchScript to quoted form of "" -- drag drop the script file between double quote
    tell application "Terminal"
        do script compasswatchScript in window 1
    end tell
end run

Insert the path of your script file in the second line of this script

if compass watch is a command, use this AppleScript script

on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Terminal"
        do script "compass watch" in window 1
    end tell
end run
