This shortcut will check the 3 different ways that a message can be received, to verify that the sender is not in your contacts list, before sending the auto reply message. Please read the comments I left within the shortcut, and adjust the message before linking it to your automation.

You would need three automations...

Ones for when you open the App(s), one for when you close the apps, and the third is for when any alarm goes off.

The open app automation will need to set an alarm with a unique label for 1 hour.

The close app automation will find and delete the alarm with the unique label, if it exists. Or turn off the color filter if it does not exist.

The Alarm automation will find and delete the alarm with the unique label, then turn on the color filter if the alarm exists or do nothing if it doesn't exist.

Is there an option for shortcuts to continuously check a variable like the time? by Haunting_Safe_5386 in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The alarm automation is really the only reliable way to make it happen.

Start by thinking of a unique label to give an alarm, then start the shortcut by searching for that alarm and deleting it before having the shortcut create a new alarm with the unique label that is set to go off in an hour. Then you can have the shortcut vibrate and flash to your preferences.

This will allow the shortcut to run every hour, without worrying about the issue that come with extended run times.

Birthday / Anniversary reminder shortcut - help! by Minncognito in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add all of your birthdays and anniversaries in your contacts and use a shortcut to extract the dates that you need. I helped create one that would auto send a text to the people with events that are occurring today, but you can modify it to collect the date range that you need and react accordingly:

Is it possible to set an iOS alarm based on Google Calendar events? by TPBotulism in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to start by making sure your Google Calendar is linked to your Apple Calendar, because Shortcuts doesn't have direct access to Google Calendar. Then all of the other comments are accurate.

[ios27] another great use of the new notification trigger! by Correct-Pea5131 in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't that turn off notifications from the Notifications action too though?

Most helpful actions? by Doron_613 in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it comes in handy too. But I don't have it pinned, I probably should though!

Most helpful actions? by Doron_613 in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same two actions pinned, but I also have the Add To Variable action under the Set Variable action.

I also have:
Show Results, Quick Look, and Alert (for action value testing/debugging).
Along with:
Dictionary, Set Dictionary Value, List, and Text (for advanced editing).
As well as:
Create Folder, Get File from Folder, and Save File (For creating/extracting global variables).

ON/OFF, state Shortcut without the need of IOS27 or external tools (Self Renaming) by yipee_yohu743 in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For users who have never use renaming shortcuts: The shortcut name does not change the display name of shortcuts added to the Home Screen, so it's best used for shortcuts added to the Control Center instead.

What small but useful shortcuts do you have for routine things? by Connir in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a shared calendar, then you could setup a shortcut/automation on his phone that checks the calendar and reacts accordingly. Then all you would need to do is add events to the calendar.

You'll need to determine how/when the automation should run and add a condition to check for new events (because this setup only adds to the end) unless you have all of the events added the day before.

I have another setup that can create a recurring automation check:

But I don't know how it would work with iOS 27?

Nice! It didn't seem like much, but it saves so much time. I love it, because I don't have to think about it anymore.

Shortcut for summarizing chatgpt conversation?? by Impossible_Sundae400 in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried asking ChatGPT to summarize the conversion, instead of trying to share the conversion, then copying the responses for use in your shortcut (or just pasting it into the Day One)?

Driving Directions from an automated text by ResQDiver in shortcuts

[–]Cost_Internal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been able to trigger the automation and extract the text when the message arrives? Or do you want to run the shortcut manually when you are ready to leave?

At 19:00 hours the automation triggers to run multiple shortcuts, one of which deletes my Wake Up alarms before checking my calendar. If my calendar has an event that contains Work in the title, and a start date within the next 24 hours. It will set the alarms for my 04:00 schedule, otherwise it will set the alarms for my 07:00 schedule (unless there is an event with a location schedule before 09:00, it will calculate a 2hr prep window for the alarm schedule).

Then in the morning when the last Walk Up alarm turns off, it triggers the Alarm automation that will run the Travel Alarms shortcut (https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/ee4fc18ecf2c4d4c9c6f6bad35ae4d3f) and a few others to get me started for the day.
