Copy YouTube playlist link
For links shared from videos playing inside a playlist, this will scrape out the ID and reformat it into the main playlist link.
Complex shortcuts
These shortcuts take advantage of advanced actions and involve intricate programming concepts that work together to solve a very specific need.
Some of these do one thing very well, while others may do lots of things as one single shortcut.
Either way, there’s likely a lot of actions and the whole thing might be hard to understand at first glance – your best bet is reading the comments and testing it out with a trial run.
