Automatically run a keyboard shortcut after opening a document

Question

I unknowingly posted this elsewhere, but was asked to post this here.
I have a curio document/template that I use often.
Curio has a mode called: full screen view, which only works by:
the keyboard shortcut: Cmd *
or by: click on Window and then clicking on Full Screen
I'm looking for a way to have all my documents open up full screen every time I open curio (or curio documents). Is there an apple script or automator action possible for this? Can you pls help? I'm new to this. Thanks.
I tried what was posted by arthur, but apart from the document opening up in curio, it does not go to full screen.

Maybe something's wrong with my workflow. I noticed that Curio is not coming to front. Is that it?
I then tried the link provided by baltwo, and installed automatedworflows.com demo 'type keystroke', but i only get the demo pop-up.
I appreciate any help. Thx.

Answer 1

then the workflow should be like this.
1. open "finder items".
2. run "apple script"
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Curio" to activate
tell application "System events" to keystroke "8" using {command down, shift down}
end run
save it as an application and put it on the desktop and/or in the dock. also go to system preferences->universal access and check the box to enable access to assistive devices.
now when you drop a file onto your automator application it should open that file with Curio and then execute the shortcut commandshift8.
