Save RSS author to Contacts
Pulls recent links from my blog's RSS feed and lets me choose which ones I want to share, then formats them as a Markdown linked list and copies it to my clipboard.
Actions Used
If
Tests if a condition is true, and if so, runs the actions inside. Otherwise, the actions under “Otherwise” are run.
Get Text from Input
Returns text from the previous action’s output.
For example, this action can get the name of a photo or song, or the text of a web page.
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.
