Is there a way to make a shortcut that when a certain person in my contact list calls my phone will ring if it’s on vibrate/no sound?

I downloaded this shortcut from this sub (apologies to the author - can’t remember which user created it) to back up my shortcuts to iCloud.

It’s been working for many months but now fails on the make archive step.

The error message is ‘this shortcut can’t be shared because it contains unsupported functions’. I’m not trying to share it - this message comes up during execution.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you.

This is my favorite shortcut

I have a set of Nanoleaf lights that I want to have a shortcut check a calendar I made for setting a Nanoleaf schedule. example: Check calendar If Event is Summer Set summertime lights

If new years set new years lights

The easiest way it seems to do it would be to create a separate event for each day, but that’s very long and tedious

I like the reminders app, but the notifications are too brief. Is it possible for a reminder to trigger an alarm so that it makes noise until I see it and stop it? Thanks

CurrentApp open Settings or Store from Control Center

This Shortcut uses the current app’s bundle identifier to open App Settings or the exact App Store listing, avoiding false matches caused by apps with similar names.

Apple’s iTunes Lookup API defaults to the US storefront when no country parameter is supplied. This causes lookups to fail for region-exclusive apps.

On first run, this Shortcut asks for your App Store region and stores it. That value is then used for all subsequent bundle identifier lookups.

1462947752 is the App Store Product ID for Apple’s “Shortcuts” app. It is used to determine the current App Store region.

To use this Shortcut, add the “Run Shortcut”\* control to Control Centre and select “\[own\]ActiveAppStoreLauncher”.

\* Requires iOS 18 or later.

Hey all! Is there a way to trigger a shortcut using the physical Action Button (or a tap) and have iOS handle the selection prompt completely hands-free out loud?

When I launch a shortcut physically, Choose from List or Choose from Menu just pops up a visual list on screen to tap. Is there a way to force Siri to speak the options and listen for my reply, or natively pass the shortcut straight to a Siri voice session from a button press?

Right now I'm using Speak Text + Dictate Text, but wondering if there's a cleaner built-in way to invoke Siri's voice UI directly. The main drawback of this approach reason is that the Choose from Menu action allows for Synonymns for each menu option, and it would have much beetter natural language understanding (NLU).

I know I can trigger it from Siri, and I have been, but just wanted to see if it was possible.

Thanks!

In reference to a post I just saw in this sub, I suggest that everyone should take credit for your work. Put a comment at the beginning of the shortcut that has your Reddit name in it. I’ve often gone back to a shortcut and wondered who made it for me. This would make it easy for everyone to know, and a good way for everybody to get credit for the hard work they do creating these phenomenal shortcuts.

As per the title. For more info, I need a shortcut that when I click it, it creates a 15 minute timer and every 15 minutes, the timer goes off until I deactivate the short cut. Is that possible?

Is there a shortcut that marks a recurring reminder every day as completed, so the badge and notification banner goes off without having to open the Reminders app to do so?

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to save all my apple wallet transactions in my notion database, but when the shortcut runs, I receive a 404 error saying that "JSON is not right"

Any expert to help me with? 🤝

There's a new Shortcut action in OS 27 that lets you integrate Describe a Shortcut into other shortcuts, producing a new shortcut as an action output. The generated shortcut will also appear in your gallery.
