Scripting Actions
Get Weather Forecast
Gets an hourly or daily weather forecast at the specified location.
Get Details of Weather Conditions
Gets a specific piece of information from the weather conditions passed into the action.
Repeat with Each
Takes a list of items as input, and runs the contained actions once for each item in the list.
If
Tests if a condition is true, and if so, runs the actions inside. Otherwise, the actions under “Otherwise” are run.
Change Case
Changes the case of the text passed into the action to UPPERCASE, lowercase, or Title Case.
Nothing
This action does nothing and produces no output. It is useful to separate blocks of actions, or to ensure that no input is passed to the next action.
Count
Counts the number of items, characters, words, sentences, or lines passed as input.
Note (from Apple, for real)
This is just like the Count in Sesame Street, but instead of a vampire, it’s a Shortcuts action.
Calculate
Performs a number operation on the input and returns the result.
Get Item from List
Returns one or more items from the list passed as input. You can get the first item, the last item, a random item, the item at a particular index, or items in a range of indexes.
Combine Text
Joins text together, inserting the separator between each join.
List
Allows you to specify a list of items to be passed to the next action.
