Automate your lifeĪutomations represent the highest value activity that most people can get from Shortcuts – it quite literally does the work for you without any sort of manual input from you, so naturally, you get a lot out of it without even trying. Now, with this Notify When Run option turned off, you could be running Automations the entire day and only have to see one set of notifications & check it when you feel like it – this is a big win for Automations in Shortcuts. I think the App automation benefit the most from this because there's a lot of potential for tracking something when you start using an app or when you finish however, up until this point, Shortcuts' notifications would very much over-notify you, and you'd end up with hundreds and hundreds of extra notifications each day while doing normal tasks. However, that also means that Location triggers for "When I Arrive" and "When I Leave" as well as Connection triggers for "Wi-Fi" and "Bluetooth" do not allow you to hide the notifications these triggers are more specific/particular, and Apple doesn't allow automations for every location changes/device connection (if you want an automation for context changes, try Focus modes instead). Automation typesĪll Automation types enabled with "Don't Ask When Run" are also enabled with this trigger automations for Focus are great paired with Set Watch Face for custom Apple Watch faces depending on your Focus Mode, Time automations can execute your scripts at any intervals, and the various device triggers could be implemented with more nuanced levels without making the experience too complicated. As Federico mentioned, this method works well – Shortcuts users can still check the list of automations that have been running, but now the app doesn't get in your way while trying to do extra work for you it just happens seamlessly now.
