Code
Copy
Select All

--profile-directory="Profile 1" "URL Here"


The profile ID you can adjust to whatever ID chrome has assigned to the profile you want to launch, and then you can specify the URL you want it to load there. Same goes for Outlook, you can just launch it with no parameters.

You can then create a trigger for each app to move to your specific location. For Chrome, you'll need to use the "Window Text" match condition to differentiate between the two chrome windows.

Outlook is really difficult to deal with. If a trigger isn't working, we have a script in our repository you can download called "Open Outlook and move to monitor #1" that might be more reliable, but may still have issues.

I've attached guides below that should help as well.

thanks!

I'm new to this product, I was trying to achieve the following with Autohotkey but wasn't getting anywhere so found DisplayFusion.

I use three monitors at my work and open up the aforementioned apps in different monitors. I've been using a batch script to do the following but without being able to specify which monitors the apps open up on.

Here's what I want to achieve.

Monitor 1: Open up my Chrome browser in a specific profile with two separate tabs opened to two different URLs (if too difficult, 1 tab will suffice). Also, open the Outlook application into calendar (this can be done using '/select outlook:calendar' switch).
Monitor 2: Open up another instance of Chrome in the same profile but at another different URL.
Monitor 3: Open up Outlook into the default window which is the main Inbox.

From my early research, it sounds like this would need scripting? I have a basic understanding of configuring triggers, but not scripting. Generally speaking I'm reasonably good at tweaking current scripts that do something close to what I need.

Thanks In advance. ]]>
