+# Launch Some Confetti
+
+If you have [Raycast](https://www.raycast.com/) installed on your machine, then
+you have quick access to some confetti via their quick command palette. Trigger
+the command palette to open, start typing `confetti` until it appears as the
+focused option, and then hit enter.
+
+🎉
+
+We can launch confetti other ways, including programmatically from scripts.
+
+To do this, we need to first find the _deeplink_ for the Raycast _confetti_
+program. Trigger the command palette and type out `confetti` again. However,
+this time instead of hitting enter, hit `Cmd+k` to open other actions. Find the
+_Copy Deeplink_ option.
+
+You should now have this on your clipboard:
+
+```
+raycast://extensions/raycast/raycast/confetti
+```
+
+With this deeplink in hand, we can now trigger confetti other places. The
+easiest way to do this is to open a terminal and pass that deep link as an
+argument to `open`.
+
+```bash
+$ open raycast://extensions/raycast/raycast/confetti
+```
+
+Now you can wrap that up in any old bash script or even just tack it on to the
+end of a run of your test suite:
+
+```bash
+$ rails test && open raycast://extensions/raycast/raycast/confetti
+```
