About time this thread was created.

I am terribly ashamed to admit that I don’t really know how to work the new Shortcuts app.
This thread may prove to be useful for me and hopefully a lot of others.

Another member posted this link in a different thread: shortcutsgallery.com

Open link on device browser to have best experience and to add shortcuts to your device.

But I agree with Tartarus, it is a task to get familiar with how they work.

I started posting tips in another thread so if the Mods can move them here it would be helpful.

I’m slowly learning by trial and error and finally built my first shortcut from the ground up but there are a lot of templates out there that you can use and just re-formulate it for your needs.

Just getting use to Setting Variables and input actions and the Magic Wand took me over a week but it’s starting to make sense now

Here’s the Thread I posted shortcut links in
The iOS 12 Shortcuts app is now in the App Store, in case you’re wondering.

Same Halil....I was so frustrated I just tucked away the app in one of my folders and gave up.

Hopefully the tips and tricks other share will make it a simpler task to create shortcuts.

It is really convent to have scripting on iOS. Workflow was great, but now that its an Apple app the integration is much better.

The best way to learn is grab some from the Gallery and play around with them.

I am doing that. I added a few.
And I learned you can pull up the share options to add it to the home screen.
This app is now so much better.
Thanks.

I suppose I’ll play around with it. There are some neat things you can with Shortcuts.

[pr1nce]

I played around with it and created some basic shortcuts. Looking forward to learning more.

Don’t be ashamed. I haven’t used the app either, so I’m sure I’ll get a lot from this

I am working on one now that grabs sunrise/sunset times and adjusts the brightness on my phone accordingly. I’ll use that in conjunction with my in the car script.

Someone was having issues with clipboard copy/paste so I wrote this shortcut to see what’s in the clipboard and asks if it’s correct or wrong.
