Great series! Within one day I went from 0 to hero and in 2-3 hours created my own file sorting shortcut. Nothing fancy but still extreamly useful when you export 20-30 images from apps like Affinity Designer. I admire your ability to explain things right to the point without unnecessary noise. I'm so glad you popped up on my youtube that one beautiful day.

Thank you very much for the tutorial. This series gives very concrete tips for not only shortcuts but also all programming and scripting related actions. I personally uses macros on PC, shortcuts on iPads, Latex and mathematical simulation for study. These tips are definitely helpful in all these aspects. The readability and flexibility in maintenance are the most important aspects in creating these pieces. The longer and sophisticated it gets, the more important they are. Looking forward to deeper and more interesting shortcuts videos.

I wish I had discovered this series earlier. These days (coming from a retired old codger) documentation has become passé; Apple generally leaves documentation to Marketing flunkies, or (even worse) programming flunkies pushed into Marketing. They have failed badly with Shortcuts, so it is material like this that is essential. Many thanks.

This series was a huge help for me! Thanks a lot. I have a problem I like to solve (smarter) i currently have a solution but this involves 4 shortcuts with about 500 operations in total. And I think there has to be a simpler way. I like to design a variable story with almost everything that can be random should be random. The story is in a different universe but for simplicity i‘m explaining it with harry potter. I like to give the reader the choice of either Gruffindoor, Slytherin, hufflepuff, etc. But after that the „mean“ house should be random (in case you choose slytherin) and thus I like to randomize the other two as well when we are ar it:) Is there a better way than: If „own house“ is X Than „mean house“ take random from remaining list (Repeat for all three other houses) Fast forward: If „own house“ is X and If „mean house“ is Y And If „befriended house“ is Z Than take the remaining one. Is a chain of endless if-than statements the only solution? The universe is actually warrior cats and there are 5 or more (houses/clans in this case) so the if-if-if statement still has a list of 2 to choose from. So to choose the forth random clan, there are about 300 operations in the single shortcut (which is a lot) Now i have a problem in this complicated shortcut and I can‘t find the error. Sometimes it defines 4 different clans /houses. Sometimes the third and fourth are identical. I didn‘t know where to start so I made a debug shortcut as well. It will generate the 4 houses (this time with a random first so I don‘t have to click it all the time) once I run it it adkes me for the amount of repeats, checks the results and saves a note with the incorrect ones. Last time I ran it with 50 runs and 15 out of the 50 results were wrong. I can‘t seem to find a pattern in the results. Rebuilding the whole thing would be an idea but is there a simpler way? This might be way to confusing since I don‘t know all the terms. (Started with ios programming just last week) Cheers and thanks again for those tutorials

Hi! I was wondering if there’s a way when running an automation that start a sleep playlist that transfers it to my HomePod to set the HomePod to stop playing after 30 minutes within the shortcut. I’ve tried a number of things I’ve found online, like setting a timer in the automation but it always give an error message and never works. Any help would be appreciated!

I have updated my iphone to latest IOS and after that i have tried to create some shortcut and some Automated actions, but after some days when i tried to create some new siri short cut, i saw there is a blue rectangle going across my display which kind of annoying situation. ( but the already created shortcuts and Automated actions are perfectly working ) After that i tried to restart and shutdown options to solve the problem but didn't stopped the rectangle moving on my display, and after that i tried to reset all setting option, then only it has stopped. But when i tried to again create some siri shortcut again the same issue coming!!!!!! So what do you think sir, for this issue Is it new IOS or my iphone ( 7 plus 128GB ) is the problem??

Maybe a shortcut to make Siri in the morning tell you your sleep stats of night before, like “you’ve slept 8h, good to go” that would be fun!

In the first action in the shortcut, you can tap on the 'Sleep' type and change it. I only have 'In Bed' in my health data, but if you have something else you can plug it in there.

Automatic and Magic Variables have a “rename” feature, making it easy to benefit from the name specificity of a set variable without having to actually set one.
@tech_craft
4 жыл бұрын
Annoyingly, if you delete the action that creates the variable and try to replace it, the linking all gets screwed up even if you’ve renamed the variable. So you still have to go back through the rest of your shortcut and re-link to the new magic variable. This doesn’t happen with explicit variables.

nice video. I find these shortcuts damn complicated and experience a lot of show stoppers. e.g. Some automation must be confirmed by unlocking the phone which in my case defies the purpose. for example I was not able to create a trivial automation which opens my garage when I am approaching my house in the car. I experienced all kind of bugs and peculiarities until I realised that this trivial use case is just not possible without fiddling with my smartphone in the car. All the interface to create scripts is really terrible, no cut and paste, ... All use case I can realise with HomeKit or shortcuts are either trivial and the benefits is questionable or they are just not possible. Apple has a long way to go until this is really a good solution.

I’m still lost. I just want to do some simple short cuts. I want to turn on “do not disturb” for 45 minutes and then have it turn off automatically. Tell Siri to run it. I don’t want to have to go into settings and schedule a time. Just a simple thing like telling Siri I don’t want to be bothered for 45 minutes.
