Shortcuts - Tips and Tricks

[gwhizkids]

Let's use this thread for posting tips and tricks (use the other thread for questions or asking for help).

My first tip is this:

To use Shortcuts to set Do Not Disturb, a lot of users have been using the Wait action as a pseudo-timer. Instead, use the Adjusted Date action (from Federico Viticci on Twitter) (https://twitter.com/viticci/status/1042403639799754752/photo/1)

This is one I saw in a post by GreyOS so I’m not claiming ownership of it.

If you try to send messages by doing a contact multi-select and then sending to each contact using ‘repeat with each’ (so it starts multiple conversations, one to each contact rather than just one to all contacts), the system will insert the contact itself into the message you’re trying to send.

To get it not to do that you need to pass ‘nothing’ into the send message action as input.

The attached screenshot hopefully makes more sense than my attempt at explaining it.
