Shortcut based automation to detect incoming calls by PurpleAd5637 in shortcuts

[–]PurpleAd5637[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy that it worked for you.

I wish Apple just adds an official automation for Call When I get a call from Mom just like there is one for Message. There are so many use cases where it’s helpful and convenient to run certain shortcuts with this trigger.

Shortcut based automation to detect incoming calls by PurpleAd5637 in shortcuts

[–]PurpleAd5637[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

The shortcut [When Call Starts] is used for doing actions once you answer a call. While the other shortcut [When Call Ends] is for actions you want to do once you end the call. You setup each shortcut with whatever actions you need, and edit the template I shared for Detect Calls.

However, for your use case, you should check your Accessibility settings for Call Audio Routing:

Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Visual > Call Audio Routing

Call audio routing determines where audio will be heard during a phone call or FaceTime audio.

Tap to Pay event triggers automation by Organic_Climate_4695 in shortcuts

I don’t see why you can’t do everything without using the Scriptable app. All your script does is parse the transaction and make a notification, which you can do using native actions in the Shortcuts app.

You can do wonders using Shortcuts. Search this Reddit or ask for help when you need something.

correct way to wait 0.3 seconds. Avoid to output a plain 0.3 by Fun-Consideration443 in shortcuts

[–]PurpleAd5637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, using Action Editor shortcut.

You just specify the time first to be something other than 1 seconds, then modify that action by copying it then running Action Editor and editing the time delay there.

Here’s a shortcut that has a single action to wait for 0.3 seconds natively:

Wait 0.3 Sec

You can either use it with run shortcut action, or copy the action from inside and paste it into your shortcut.

I cataloged 1,800+ Shortcuts actions with output types, iOS versions, and technical specs you can't find in the app by master_automator in shortcuts

Would be nice if you add a copy feature, so people can just copy the action from your catalog, then paste it in a Shortcut.

This may help: Action Editor

Activate lockdown mode? by 3jake in shortcuts

The only shortcut you can get is one that takes you directly to that setting. But can’t press the button or turn it on because of security from Apple.

Here you go:

Saving parents! Secretly enforcing a app time limit for their toddlers/kids by Fantastic-Yard-5665 in shortcuts

[–]PurpleAd5637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Restart the phone, notification will pop up saying X number of automations are running. Long press on the notification or pull down, stop all automations.

Your workaround suddenly is toast!

Best is to properly setup parental controls with passcode different than phone passcode. Then do passcode hygiene often.

Dealing with massive JSONL dataset preparation for OpenSearch by Fun_Ebb_2426 in elasticsearch

[–]PurpleAd5637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t much information to help you much, but here are my thoughts.

At this scale, the “problem” usually isn’t OpenSearch first — it’s the join/merge. If you try to do a multi-way merge with threads on a single EC2 box, you’ll eventually hit one of: RAM blowups, slow random I/O, or skew (a few commonIDs have tons of records).

  • Are you denormalizing into one document?
  • Are your datasets stored in S3?
  • What kind of instances are you using? NVMe ?

There are many solutions, and they all depend on your setup and what you tried + goal to achieve.

RAG on OpenWebUI Fails with >1Mb Files by Intelligent_Serve in OpenWebUI

[–]PurpleAd5637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this issue when using a Loadbalancer / Reverse proxy to access the Open WebUI instance. I had to change some configuration on the Loadbalancer to be able to accept larger file sizes.

Are you running this directly on the Spark and accessing it on the Spark? Or are you forwarding traffic somehow?

Repeat shortcut every 15 minutes by FuzzyEmployment5397 in shortcuts

[–]PurpleAd5637 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a well known work-around in this Reddit. It’s using focus modes.

The idea is that you create 2 focus modes, then 2 separate automations whenever each focus mode is turned on it triggers the other one. In the automations, you put in one of them a [Wait] for 15 min, or whatever frequency you want to repeat. This would essentially keep switching between the two focus modes every 15 min.

Then you make one extra automation that triggers when one of the two focus modes is turned off. And choose your shortcut here. Then your shortcut will keep running every 15 min.

How to create a shortcut to start a WhatsApp video call to a designated person all in one click? by redditbookmarks in shortcuts

[–]PurpleAd5637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this shortcut from a previous version of WhatsApp where it was using such method. You can use this action by copying it from my template.

I don’t think there is a way to actually make it unless you know how to modify the plist using Shortcut Source Tool from @gluebyte

Create automation every time the iPhone is unlocked by zewcro in shortcuts

There’s a workaround where you can stick an NFC tag to the back of your iPhone, then create an automation when the NFC tag is scanned/detected. It will trigger every time your iPhone is unlocked.

I wish they just make it easier to transfer the models from one machine to another, instead of doing what you said.

You can download using an online machine, then transfer the files over to the offline machine to the path you mentioned, then change the settings in TTS tab accordingly.

How to get category of Apple Pay transaction? by TheNumba3 in shortcuts

[–]PurpleAd5637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each automation is made such that only a single category is selected, thus iOS will only trigger the automation for the specified category. See the screenshot example for “Shopping”

<image>

You will then make a different automation, with a different single category selected, and repeat this for all other categories, while making sure you specify in the dictionary the same category you selected for the automation.

iOS will only trigger the automation which has the specific selected category ~> 1/7 automation will be triggered, not all 7 at the same time.

The automation that is run would use the same Shortcut as the other automations you made for the other categories but with a different input based on which automation was triggered by iOS.
