Need help to create a shortcut for Mail

With the iOS 13 update, we now have the ability to link an email to a reminder. Here is what I do manually.


  1. Select any part of the Email subject and tab Share.
  2. Select Reminders from the Share sheet.
  3. When the Reminders app opens, the email subject is already prefilled.
  4. In the Details section I change the List from Reminders to Email (I created this as a separate list)
  5. Set the Remind me day and time as needed.
  6. Go back to the original email and Move it to a mailbox called Later.


With the exception of setting the date and time for the reminder, it seems like this would be a good use of a Shortcut. Having never used Shortcuts before, I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone assist?


Thanks.
