Call or Message Contacts with Alfred

Every time I needed to use Handoff to contact someone, especially calling, I thought to myself “surely there’s an Alfred workflow that shortcuts all this clicking.”

I finally Googled it this afternoon. Bingo.

Simply precede a contact’s name with Call, SMS, or IM. A tiny quibble is that it opens the Contacts app in the background (minimized) after each query.
