Unless I'm mistaken, you can actually edit the preferences of the automation to avoid the notification. Click on the automation in the Shortcuts app, then choose "Run immediately" instead of "Run after confirmation". This works on my SE. Still a good question though!

Yeah, but seems to only be available for specific things. Apple has decided that some of the "automations" shouldn't be allowed to run automatically without user interaction. For example, what I'm trying to setup is forward specific SMS messages to a specific Telegram channel (or just do a HTTP POST, worst case scenario), and for those flows, Apple require user interaction to run automatically. Give it a try yourself to setup a automation like that :)

  Not an on device solution, but generally for that sort of thing id use an SMS messaging service; ClickSend or Twilio for instance. Can’t speak to the specifics of what you want to do WRT Telegram. But as a programmer, it’s not something I’d be attempting on-device. Unless of course it absolutely had to be done with my own main number that is tied to my eSIM…. But at that point I’d begin questioning my life choices that led me to this situation! ;-)

    Yeah, I understand where you're coming from, but I don't want to route these messages through unrelated 3rd parties. Just want it to go from my telecom provider > my phone > Telegram Group. And yes, it is messages arriving to my main phone number, fwiw. Everything is working as a "Shortcut", the only thing missing is Apple allowing me to run this shortcut automatically without user interaction. Which for some annoying reason is missing. If I just can get rid of the step where I absolutely have to interact with the phone to trigger the "automation"...

      My guess would be that they are chary of phones being used as spam relays.

  You can use the Scriptable app to run arbitrary JavaScript via an automation without user interaction. As an example, I use this to test if I have functional internet when I leave my house: if I forget to top up my mobile plan, I’ll hear a voice say, “you are not online.” https://apps.apple.com/app/id1405459188 https://apps.apple.com/app/id1405459188

    > You can use the Scriptable app to run arbitrary JavaScript via an automation without user interaction What are some examples of how you can trigger it without user interactions? I looked through the docs and found nothing about triggering stuff when receiving SMS text messages for example.
