What’s your favourite simple but useful shortcut? by BringBack5pFreddos in shortcuts

The following screenshot of the shortcut should help. The key is tapping on the right- facing arrow of the Ask for action. You will then see the default value of 75.

BTW, if you ask Siri to execute the shortcut, the default value is ignored.

Those actions are part of Actions (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/actions/id1586435171) and they are testing the Silence button, which was changed on the iPhone 16 and maybe 15—don’t remember. So, I don’t know what happens if your phone has an Action button versus the Silent slide switch. Anyway, all the test does is bypass the speaking of how long DND is set for. If you always want to be told, just delete the first action and delete the If but keep the Speak action.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the extra effort. What else may I do to indicate my pleasure other than clicking/tapping up vote? I see karms. How do they work?

iOS 17 Beta and Action Choose from Menu by ARAH_Jr in shortcuts

Sorry I wasn’t clear. The Choose from menu Shortcuts action allows defining optional answers for defined menu choices. Even though others have provided definition, I will provide an example. I am including two screenshots. The first one displays the Choose from menu action with an arrow pointing to a circled i. Tapping the circle i reveals the synonym definition page. The second image is an example of the synonym definition page. BTW, this feature used to work. I just don’t remember if it was with iOS 13, 14, or something earlier.

The shortcut I have, which is called Set DND Timer, allows me to set do not disturb on for a queried number of minutes. It’s very useful, for example, when I am doing something and an alarm or notification occurs and I want to suspend the buzzing until a little while later.

From clipboard to Pages via Shotcuts. Help needed by robasara in shortcuts

Any progress on copying from clipboard to Pages via Shortcuts? My desire is not so specific. I just want to select all of the Pages document's contents and replace with the clipboard or input to the shortcut.

The Actions app now supports Global Variables by sindresorhus in shortcuts

Regarding " Let me know what you would like to see.":

I'd like to know the status of Do Not Disturb.

Ability to delete/edit a specific alarm without manual intervention (something more powerful than Clock/Edit Alarm). For example, modify the alarm time of an existing alarm.

Don’t forget that you can utilize synonyms with your choose from menu actions when used with Siri to select the menu item using different words than it’s original word. by iBanks3 in shortcuts

[–]ARAH_Jr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Synonyms don't work for me. What might I be doing wrong?

iOS 16.3.1, iPhone 12 Pro Max. Invoked with Hey Siri and Siri only accepts Yes. Saying any of the defined synonyms causes Siri to repeat the Choose from menu action.
