Setting more conditions for shortcut automation

[Frantisekj]

Hello, I wanted shortcut that will at specific time and specific place open webpage and shows me traffic delays in short.

I managed to make work that it opens at time, even now realized to turn off weekends but somehow can not figure how to set exactly second condition to open in only when o specific place. So it popping up every workday everywhere.

I havent understood how before I leave condition works. How it can know when I will leave?

Thanks for tips.

a) can add to the Automation/Shortcut a "Get distance from" Action. Params are Current Location and the address of "leaving from". Then an "if": if calculated distance is less then [1/4 mi | 1/2 mi | other] then show webpage.

2) Have not used these myself but semi-educated guess is "Significant Locations" under Privacy. Phone learns where/when one goes to/from and starts to pop up "helpful" messages like "16 minutes away from ABC" if go to ABC on a predicable schedule. Will learn that you leave XYZ everyday at 5:00-ish for example.

ADD: a) variation: what I do is I read/write a value to Files app that flags if at a location, specifically, at home or not. So an Automation "when leave home" that set the AtHome flag to false. Automation "when arrive home", set flag to true. Then anywhere where home vs away comes into play, just ping the variable.

Something similar could be done with other key locations.

add A. Thanks for help. I am quite ashamed but I can not figure it that distance thing to work. I can not link next action to work. It should be simple but I am often lost in Shortcuts.

Pretty easy. If one works at Apple HQ, setting up a geo-fence (in miles) would look like below.

Automation: When: 5:00pm, M-F. Do: New Blank Automation

Then add following to blank automation.
