Run a shortcut
Asks you to enter the name of a shortcut, then finds and runs that shortcut. Also uses scripting to check if more than one exists with that name and asks which to run.
Scripting Actions
Get My Shortcuts
Gets the shortcuts stored on this device. For example, you could use this action with the Make Archive action to zip up your shortcuts.
Filter Files
Given a list of files, this action returns the files that match the given criteria. Allows for sorting, changing the order, and limiting the number passed as a result.
If
Tests if a condition is true, and if so, runs the actions inside. Otherwise, the actions under “Otherwise” are run.
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.
Choose from List
Presents a menu of the items passed as input to the action and outputs the user’s selection.
Prompt
The instruction provided when the list is presented.
Select Multiple
When enabled, multiple items may be chosen from the list.
