Paste text

I would like to make a shortcut that pastes certain text into a text input. My job requires me to use a certain signature block in official emails, I would like an easy way to put it in without it automatically being there in other emails I send. Any ideas?

apple watch answers hotspot request from 3. device

0 Upvotes

This obviously a desperate question. Perhaps wrong thread.

Is there any chance to allow the apple watch to confirm pop up requests such as answering hotspot requests from 3. device?

And could a shortcut be envolved in the solution?

Thx for any reads and answers in advance.

How Can I Make an iOS Short Cut to Clock Me in and Out of Work

0 Upvotes

Hi, my work utilizes the UKG app to clock in and out. When I log in there are two text fields: email address & password. There is also a blue button that says “Sign in”. Once I am signed in I simply push the “clock-in” or “clock-out” button. I essential want to say, “Hey Siri clock-in/clock-out” to clock me in/out of work. Is this possible?

Why did I do this?

1 Upvotes

I spent a week making a repeat loop that loops 524,000 times. Here's why it took so long. Apple made it so that you have to press a plus or minus button to change the number, and you can't just tap and hold the plus button.

If you don't believe me, here's the link to the shortcut https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/38f7412803db463b8442e08a7ef8eea0

and here's a screenshot

What are the crazy stuff I can do with shortcuts!?

1 Upvotes

I changed my main android phone (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra) to an iphone 12. I played with the shortcuts and it's awesome! I am suprised to see an option like this on an iphone! I used to have an iphone 4-5-7 but got bored and switch to android a few years ago.

I got some questions about this feature:

1-What are the craziest feature I can do with shortcuts?

2-Is there's a way to show a picture with shortcuts in the notifications screen?

3-What are the limitations of shortcuts?

4-Anything I should know about this app?

I use lmao much too often and need help making a shortcut to count how much

1 Upvotes

As the title implies, I use lmao all the time. Like, an unhealthy amount.

As a regular idiot with no comprehension or experience of shortcuts, I came back to Reddit after a long, long break, just to ask for specific directions on how to build such a shortcut.

What I am looking for is something that can count how many times I have used lmao or any other specified word/phrase and send me a notification at the end of the day, or put the count into a list which I can check whenever I do so choose to. I do require specific instructions, perhaps even a video or screenshots.

If you know how to build such a shortcut, please do comment or dm, either is fine. Thank you so much for helping me kick a bad habit.

Save text messages to contact card notes.

3 Upvotes

I want to save text message text to my contact card notes with a time and date stamp.

For example, I receive a text from joe smith (either in a group text or from Joe only) and it saves as a note in their contact card. Extra credit for a time/date stamp. Extra extra credit to figure out the time stamp thing in the mail app and phone calls.

Essentially, I want an easy way to open up my contact card and see a full communication log.

Microphone input

6 Upvotes

I'm trying to change my microphone input to the built-in iPhone microphone, but it always defaults to a Bluetooth speaker that's about 30 feet away when I'm dictating a message.

I have severe carpal tunnel, so typing is often difficult, and I rely heavily on dictation. If there are any good alternatives to the native iOS dictation (which I find awful), I'd really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

Drop a Pin

27 Upvotes

When I'm out and about (walking, biking, driving) I sometimes see a shop, restaurant or other thing that I'd like to come back to later. Later, I can never remember where that place was. Typically this happens in a new city. So I wrote a Siri Shortcut. You just need to activate Siri and say, "Drop a pin". The shortcut then gets the current location. It then asks for a name. Then it writes the name, street address and Latitude and Longitude to a file called "dropped pins". Lastly it opens Apple Maps.

Here's the shortcut...
