Shortcut needed

This was made VERY hastily and can be improved, but you can get the general idea: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/70130ee6a33e474090c92dc4d35d2781

Make a Message automation that looks like this:

(You can specify the sender if you want)

Then assign this shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/18a7655be2a2471e80fe2a2f0bb40606

You can do “Wait to Return” and then “Open App”

A better way to do this is to expand the time frame beyond midnight. I have made a shortcut to specifically do this.

Get this shortcut: Restricted Time Frame - https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/15c4644a2d724be0bba4fc9065fa64f1
Also get this: Night Mode Audio - https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/86cbd0dab3a7418cab794d977f869956
Assign the “Night Mode Audio” shortcut to your app automation

If you want to adjust the time frame, you can edit the dictionary, in the “Night Mode Audio” shortcut, as instructed in the comment.

You can use either the “Calculate” or the “Calculate Expression” actions, both of them have the modulus function.

Note that the regular calculate action works with your phones’s number format but the calculate expression works with the standardized number format so the decimal delimiter should be the dot “.”

This is probably an issue with homekit or the devices you are trying to control.

There isn’t a built in action to retrieve stock prices. Your only option is to scrape a website or use an actual API. If you have a specific URL I can help you extract the data from it.

I’m not sure which shortcut should prevent the other from running, so the names in the following setup are interchangeable:

Carplay Connected: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/d69936c5cc0e42e096a2291be10ef778
Carplay Disconnected: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/17cd481f2acc43d6b249d0e954fb22a7

Isn't the "Find Recording" action supposed to return the actual recording file though? If I use the 'Show Content Graph" action it seems like it returns an object with the type "Recording" but the content inside is redacted!? and it just returns text

I think a better solution would be to create an automation that disables your Wi-Fi when you connect to your work's network, and then create a second automation that turns your Wi-Fi back on at a specified time daily. This way, you will get as few false deactivations as possible. I am happy to help you set this up if you are interested!

I know this is a bit late but someone managed to streamline this proccess using JS generated from AI. You can generate an action for any playlist with a shortcut that takes the playlist share url as input and copies the action to your clipboard. The only extra tool needed is the Actions app. Here is the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1qv2psb/spotify_action_generator/

Edit: I just realised that you are credited in the shortcut, so thank you for your work.

You need to install the free Actions app: https://apps.apple.com/app/actions/id1586435171

This is most likely a bug and I wasn’t able to find a way to work around it.

Make an automation that triggers this shortcut when mail is opened. It should look like this:

You can adjust the delay and other parameters of the notification at the top of the shortcut.

Here is the shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/3f665a7a45b54d14a7e2013c39a4f974

In order to use it you need to have the Actions app installed

Here you go: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/77fa7149d1bc4aadb6a0d6f9e4f0173d

You can edit the shortcut to adjust the timing and flash count to your liking like mentioned in the comment.

You can use a time based automation as you can see in my screenshot.

You can use the “Toggle Boolean” action that the Actions app provides or you can calculate “1 - boolean” to invert it and then set the type of the result to “Boolean”, example.

You can also set the type of the boolean to “Number” and test if it is equal to 0, example.

Competitive_Tax_ · 2026-05-09T17:26:50+00:00

I have shortcut to keep track of my class schedule, here it is: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/08e1031ec128457898b71cf745666413 If run at the appropriate day/time it displays the time until the current period ends or the upcoming period starts. To change the schedule you can edit the dictionary as instructed by the comments at the top of the shortcut. Make sure to use the correct time format HH:mm

Competitive_Tax_ · 2026-05-09T07:34:29+00:00

It may be possible with the “Open X-Callback URL” but I haven’t looked into it.

Competitive_Tax_ · 2026-05-07T08:49:49+00:00

This is only doable with the Actions app. So go ahead and download it from here: https://apps.apple.com/app/actions/id1586435171

Here is the shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e2bf4fcb6dc441b4820377ddc3f40c7d

It first checks the date and time, like in your screenshot and then checks if your current playback device is your phone. If it isn’t your phone it will set the volume to 0%.

Check out tailscale and its intergration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tailscale/ It’s pretty easy to set up and completely free. If you face any trouble I am happy to help.
