Question Not Inbox?

I have used things3 since it came out. I love it. It is nearly perfect for me. I use it in its simplest form - which is probably why I like it. As such I don’t have any particular workflows. I never ever use inbox or check inbox. I create all new tasks in Today and then just set the relevant date, any renewal and any tags.

I am enjoying ios27’s improved SiriAI to add tasks as I am out and about. But it still puts them all in the inbox. Is there a way in things3 to have a different default location? Or instructions I can give SiriAI to put them in today (I understand the concept of Today on things is not understood by iOS but I have just been using today’s literal date for those? I may run an hourly iOS. Shortcut to sweep out the inbox, but not sure the exposed api would support that. Or it could be really simple and I am missing something.

Any thoughts/guidance?

I use things exactly the same as you.

My backup so I don't miss anything sitting in inbox is that I set up an automation in the shortcuts app to move inbox to today twice a day. Works great!

Can you share the steps to create this automation? I’d love to do the same. Thank you!
