- diggan 3y agoHow did you get it to work? I'm trying to do something very basic, wait for a text message to appear and make a POST request to an endpoint with the contents. I can create the Shortcut itself, but I cannot make the Automation run without showing a notification and then requiring me to tap on the notification to run the Automation.
- majewsky 3y ago(Translating UI strings from German.) When I have the automation open, the first two settings are "Automation" (set to "Execute immediately") and "Notify on execution" (set to off). That seems to work. But not sure if it's more restrictive for certain types of actions, like network requests. I'm only using it for fairly basic stuff like "if Youtube or Nebula is opened, turn screen rotation lock off".
