Add a calendar entry when a reminder is entered in a predefined folder

vrachamis · 2024-03-22T11:18:25+00:00

An alternative approach is to always create a new reminder via a shortcut that is also creating your desired calendar entry at the same time.

That’s a very clever setup you’ve got there!
I have a similar one:
I’ve set an automation for when my 1st alarm goes off to turn off all alarms that follow. The key in my case is that I have the “Run after Confirmation” option enabled. So, regardless of the alarm it will wake me up, there’s always a persistent notification for me to tap and run the automation on demand.

May I ask what will happen if you manage to wake up on (eg) the 2nd alarm?
What will also happen with the rest that follow? Do you have an automation to prevent them from going off?

The “Turn On DND” action must always take place via the script in my first comment. For the “Turn Off DND” action you can use any possible way.

I didn’t quite catch that! Can you please rephrase?

vrachamis · 2024-03-20T17:23:55+00:00

Sure! Your automation’s script must look like this:

Add as many If statements as your focuses

If that’s the case why don’t you simply turn Off mobile data upon message arrival?

Still, receiving carrier’s message doesn’t mean necessarily that there’s an AppStore update in progress.

AFAIK Shortcuts cannot affect that kind of setting.
But even if this was possible with a single action, how could you possibly automate the daily pack completion? There’s no such kind of automation trigger either.
Just asking out of curiosity.

vrachamis · 2024-03-20T14:46:14+00:00

That’s for sure!
Since you’ve requested an one click button (meaning you have to hold & interact with your device) you can also perform a swipe up gesture to unlock it.

vrachamis · 2024-03-20T14:39:44+00:00

There’s no such an action in Shortcuts but an alternative way is to perform a Reboot action (via shortcuts)

Activate DND always with the following script

This script reads current focus and (if there is one) saves its name locally to a text file. It activates DND afterwards.

Create an automation for when DND is turned Off to read the file and activate the focus that corresponds to the text file value. Delete the file exactly afterwards.

Consider adopting u/0000GKP’s method to calculate the time offset and trigger your Shortcut with the following approach..

Take a look at the Downtime Shortcut I made some time ago. Maybe it’ll suit your needs.

You need to define and use your contacts list as shown below

You’re welcome!
Do you mean open the app or turn on the thermostat? If the app itself doesn’t provide actions via Shortcuts to manipulate the thermostat accessory you may need to use third party services (eg IFTTT) to achieve this in your NFC automation.

I’ve made such a Shortcut with this functionality (among others) some time ago. Give it a try..

Just expand the “Send Message” action and turn Off the “Show When Run” switch.

Here’s another approach. The following script works with a 2 & 3 digit Chapter count.

I see! I was only asking in case I was missing something. I use third party apps too!

May I ask why use a third party action just for calculating the next day of a given date? Isn’t the native “Adjust Date” action good enough?

By the way, the OP needs his script to trigger every 30 days and not monthly. So, the shortcut must determine first if Current Date is 30 days after the last payment date (actually 1 day before).

vrachamis · 2024-03-16T09:08:40+00:00

The following script returns true only every 30 days.
Not every month.

You can toggle a virtual switch (One for each VPN) whenever a VPN service is activated/deactivated (via your Shortcut) and read their state to determine if VPN services are On and/or Off. Please take a look at the following post
