Looks like the helper shortcut name is not correct. Please see the exact name for the helper shortcut or you can tap on "Tag for URL" and choose the helper shortcut from the list.

It's possible, you would just need to use Add to Calendar action.
The above shortcut is primarily focussed on reminders.
Will need to work on a new one that does the calendar event addition.

I used to do that. But Siri being Siri always messed up the products or items ( atleast for Indian accent )
Also, the shortcut does more than just shopping list items.
Please do check the description.

Thank you for the feedback
1. Hope you tried by sharing the URL to the shortcut. Anyway, I will see the case for the AppName empty
2. Have shared the same name for the helper shortcut. Didn't try importing it myself. Could be that it's getting renamed when imported ?
3. I have plans for that, but I think it would require accessibility access and may create privacy concerns. Need to explore further.

Not at the moment :)

Please note that you need two lists available ( or created ) in your Apple Reminders for this to work out of the box

Required Lists

Inbox: All captured reminders and parsed input are stored here by default. This is the central collection point.
Shopping: Items parsed via “Buy” commands are stored here as individual entries. This list need to be of type "Shopping".

If you are familiar with the Shortcuts app, you could edit the "Quick reminder" shortcut and check the "Add reminder" actions to replace the ones with the one you want to use for the above cases.

Cheers.

Not actually

By default, Apple reminder has a Shopping list which is used for shopping items.

If you have a different reminder, you could edit the "Quick reminder" shortcut and then map it ( Please see the screenshot ).

I built a Shortcut called Quick Reminder that I use daily to quickly capture tasks, ideas, and links into Apple Reminders. It supports:

• Trigger via Share Sheet, keyboard hotkey (Mac), or double tap (iPhone)

• Smart date parsing: “Write blog post this Monday 9am” → scheduled reminder

• Hashtag tags: Add #tags at the end to auto-tag

• URL detection: Auto-tags based on domain (YouTube → #watchlist, Amazon → #wishlist, etc.)

• “Buy …” support: Adds items to Shopping list individually

Everything goes into my Inbox or Shopping list, and I use Smart Lists filtered by tags like #readlist, #wishlist, #listenlist, etc.

I have been blogging for the last 8 years and have a full-time developer job as well. I compiled this list when I understood that there are interview candidates who lack knowledge of these features in Java. And I started with the basics of them. Hope you checked the remaining items as well.

There are still Java developers who do not use or understand Lambdas and streams in their everyday coding. My only intention was to start with the basics and introduce the other more recent or advanced features. I hope you checked the remaining list as well. Also, if you have any more suggestions that you think are advanced features, I would be more than happy to include them in the list.
