One Thing progress bar
Sample shortcut showing how One Thing can be used to show progress.
Scripting Actions
Count

Note (from Apple, for real)
This is just like the Count in Sesame Street, but instead of a vampire, it’s a Shortcuts action.
Repeat with Each
Takes a list of items as input, and runs the contained actions once for each item in the list.
Get Contents of Web Page
Extracts the contents of the web pages passed into the action.
Save File
Save files to iCloud Drive. Turn off “Ask Where to Save” in order to specify a destination path in the Shortcuts folder.
