Frequently Asked Questions
How do I manage Shortcuts with meta-actions?
The 12 Shortcuts actions let you run other shortcuts, search your shortcut library, create/delete shortcuts programmatically, organize into folders, generate sharing links, and open specific shortcuts in the editor. Build modular automation systems and shortcut management workflows.
How do I run one shortcut from another?
Use "Run Shortcut" and select the target shortcut. You can pass input to the called shortcut and receive its output back. This enables modular design: create small, focused shortcuts that can be combined into complex workflows.
Can I create a shortcut menu system?
Yes! Use "Choose from Menu" with each option running a different shortcut via "Run Shortcut". Create category-based launchers: "Work Tools", "Home Automation", "Media Controls". Add to Home Screen or widgets for quick access to your entire shortcut library.
What is the benefit of modular shortcuts?
Instead of duplicating logic across multiple shortcuts, create reusable components. For example: a "Send to Notion" shortcut can be called from various workflows. When you need to update the Notion integration, modify one shortcut instead of many. Easier to maintain and debug.
How do I share shortcuts with others?
Use "Create Shortcut iCloud Link" to generate a sharing URL for any shortcut. Share the link via Messages, Mail, or social media. Recipients can import your shortcut with one tap. Great for sharing productivity workflows, automations, or utility shortcuts with colleagues and friends.
