Brett, I changed the DB user ID in the Workflow script. The workflow starts, but then encounters this error: 
Hi Brett, this is great. I saved it as an app and it works really well. I know this is an edge case but when I run it via Alfred, the Name This Collection window doesn't have focus. I know, I'm lazy. Any idea how to get it to have focus for immediate input? Thanks!
That's an Automator issue, its dialogs suck at taking focus when becoming key. The ideal situation would be to build an Alfred-specific version using the shell script in the Run Shell Script action. Then you could input a title directly in Alfred. There's technically no need for Automator in this, the Ruby script can run on its own just fine.
