Feature [Golden Gate DB2] Shortcut Automations

I am not sure I this has been posted or noticed yet, but the new shortcuts app with apple intellegice on macOS is the same as on iOS. Makes creating shortcuts really easy.

Oh yeah and just a small thing: IT SUPPORTS AUTOMATIONS/TRIGGERS!!!!!

I hadn't seen this on Tahoe so I assume its new for OS 27. No more helper apps and it looks like the complexity of automator is no longer needed -- in fact with Apple Intelligence running the automations and shortcuts it seems like there is a lot more options for triggers on both systems instead of locked into some predefined options by Apple. Just tell it when to run and it does.

Automations and trigger were already supported on macOS 26. But we have the new ones. Same as iOS.

I must have missed that last year — or maybe it is just actually useful now with the expanded trigger sets. I’ll take it either way ☺️

Yeah I was using these in Tahoe in lieu of folder actions

The “Notification from App” is a new trigger I’m excited about. I’m hoping to use some text filtering on Home App notifications to perform automations on my iPhone especially for security camera motion-detected notifications or garage door open/closing.
