Not sure it’s possible yet. I was trying that for a Shortcut that sends a contact a text. I think it always picks the first phone number.
Got a tip for us?

I’m trying every possible combo of shortcuts and no dice....maybe one day. Wanted to be able to Venmo someone without having to type a name, number or, amount.
I thought of this! Most of my contacts are set up in this way but it irks me that it’s not a complete solution. Ah really! Very interesting, he’s a distant relation of mine. Always an interesting conversation when people hear the name lol
Obligatory “Magic 8 Ball” shortcut.

It’s used in widgets. Siri is perfect but since my wifi netwrork and my mobile netwrork Connectivity is weak, Siri takes time to process. So now I can turn off wifi with the widget instead of just disable new connections

If you share a link here, the contact info of your wife will not be shared

Yes it has to support it

For some reason it isn’t opening in my shortcuts app. Could you post a screenshot or record screen?

Meeeee I can’t seem to get any shortcuts from links

Oh you posted a screen shot. Damn looks tooo big. I’ll go mad. I wish the link worked
Unfortunately, no. Right now there’s no AirPlay support for directing sound output locations. Also, Shortcuts does not natively support timed execution (or geo-fenced execution, for that matter. However, in combination with Launcher Pro, you may be able do the timed execution.
Anyone had any luck with the “Match Text” step in a shortcut? I’m trying to find a string, but any use of “Match Text” (even the default) causes the Shortcuts app to freeze and it has to be force quit. Not sure if it is a bug, or if perhaps there is a workaround or different use I need to try.
Hi everyone, is it possible to create a shortcut to delete safari history and browsing data? Thanks
So, been tinkering with the app. Created several things that auto-send texts with my driving time, getting a news RSS-feed and read it for me, etc.
But how do I make the HomePods play? And how do I make Siri say the weather forecast? She can do it when you ask her, but the weather-app in Shortcuts only can "show" the weather, and I want to integrate it in my "mornin" shortcut...

I think the ‘Run script over SSH’ is going to be very useful!
I’ve set up a simple shortcut to turn on my Homebridge server with Siri.
Before I would have to open an SSH app, login to the Rpi and type out the command.

I’m trying to put together a shortcut at that will let me turn on DND, lower brightness, and turn on Night Shift and True Tone. I’ve got everything but turning on night shift. Can anyone help out?
Doesn’t HomeKit complications or automation does this already? I use it for my Hue lights.
Yeah, the "Shortcut" would be: turn on scene X
not very useful, unless it's combined with some other stuff, ie: send a text to your friendly neighbor to say you're away on a trip and that he should keep an eye on things.
Another matter but I wish you could actually move the numbers with a gripper in Contacts instead of having to manually edit them to swap them!

I’m not sure how reliable this is but I found that passing a contact straight into Send Message tended to pick what was labelled as mobile or iPhone, even if it wasn’t the first number.
e.g.

Alas, you can only set settings that are exposed by Apple. The settings on the screenshot below are the only ones I’ve encountered in the 2 months I’ve been using it.
Unfortunately, the Siri Suggested actions (at least for alarms) seem to be static: they are what they are and you can’t pass a variable or other input in to alter it. In fact, the Siri Suggested Alarm action simply passes any received date info straight through without modification.
Not sure if I posted this here, but a great place to find Shortcuts is sharecuts.app. This is a site created by Rambo (of “found the marketing photos of the Xs and Watch Series 4 online” fame) and is contributed to by several well known tech bloggers and developers.
I am hoping Apple develops a Shortcuts Store or at least something more robust than the Gallery, which has been pretty similar to what it is now since the early days of Workflow.
