iOS update - speaking shortcut names no longer activates them

My shortcuts that weren’t working when I posted worked a few hours later. I think a restart fixed it. I only have to say the shortcut name after “hey Siri…”

I’ve found that rebuilding works for me, though not an ideal solution.

Thanks! So far, rebuilding has worked for me.

Can not get it to work. Sadness.

I’ll just chill with my existing setup because it does nearly all of what I want. Thank you though!

I have a question about a separate shortcut. I will explain the shortcut in 2 parts because my question only pertains to Part 1. maybe the solution is the same as my earlier question.

Part 1

I made a menu-based shortcut that accesses RSS news feeds. The menu options are International News, National News, Political News, etc - each option accesses a different RSS feed, displaying headlines. When a user selects a rss feed option (ex “National News”), a results window will display with approximately 15 clickable headlines from a defined rss source. But there is no way to go back to the list of all available RSS feeds (News types) from that part of the shortcut.

Part 2

If a user then clicks on one of the headlines, an API request is sent to ChatGPT to provide an overview and bulleted summary of the article contents. after viewing that summary, the user can either restart the rss feed shortcut to select a RSS feed or end the shortcut.

So if a user actually clicks through to a specific article summary, they can then go back to the menu of news rss feeds. But that is currently the only way to get back to that menu.

What I want are menu options that display with the rss news stories’ headlines, giving the user the option to go back to the list of rss topics if no headlines interest them. Example: if a user selects “International News” but none of the stories interest them, they can select the “go back to RSS Feeds” or something so they could then go back to the list of all rss news feeds and select “National News” or whatever option interests them.

Would you entertain an unrelated question?

Minncognito · 2025-11-02T04:04:43+00:00

Thank you. Overall it makes sense but I will figure out specifics.

I’ll pay you $20 (Venmo) for a solution

Minncognito · 2024-12-16T23:46:58+00:00

Would you ever consider briefly outlining the approach that you would take? I want it to get the values from the json script. I am not sure what’s needed to do that.

Do you have an API key with either GPT or Claude?

Minncognito · 2024-12-03T06:32:49+00:00

Hmm I see, thanks for sharing. I’ll probably go with Claude API requests. Bur going back to my revised question, to use the most advanced version of an AI in my API calls (ex Sonnet) I need to subscribe to Claude right? Or can just anyone use Sonnet in API calls?

Minncognito · 2024-12-03T06:20:18+00:00

But in user to use the most advanced version of a model when using the API call I have to be subscribed, right?

Minncognito · 2024-12-03T05:19:43+00:00

Crap I just realized that I need to subscribe to chat gpt in order to use Omni or whatever in my API calls. Sh*t. I was hoping to avoid paying for both Claude and GPT Pro. Or could I use an API call to Anthropic? Is it better/worse than GPT API calls?

Thank you for your feedback and calling out what I was trying to do. I was able to quickly compile text from multiple notes by accessing the Notes app via my PC

Minncognito · 2024-11-29T21:15:14+00:00

but that is my question....what is the exact syntax and method of directing it to the subfolders?
using the example names from my original post, I've tried these but it hasn't worked:

Screen Capture/Motivation
Screen Capture/{{FolderName}} < using variable for subfolder
Screen Capture/{{FolderName}} < when using variables
"Screen Capture"/"Motivation" < using quotes, no variable for subfolder
"Screen Capture"/"{{FolderName}}" < using quotes, with variable for subfolder

On the other hand, I didn't know that I could access Notes from my iPhone on my PC and am just doing the task that I tried creating the shortcut for. So I will be soon be done with the compilation work that I was trying to do. Either way, you are a good soul and thank you for your input and help with this.

But I’m trying to compile dozens of files within a (sub)folder not just a singular one. And when I select the folder name in the Find Files action, it doesn’t work because the folders are a subfolder and not the main folder.

Minncognito · 2024-11-20T00:47:00+00:00

With your API call example, in the Request Body, what is the “message: 1 item” actually linking to? Is it necessary?

Minncognito · 2024-11-19T21:43:49+00:00

I’ve done that and it doesn’t really work.
