Hello a9n66,


Thanks for reaching out through the Apple Support Communities about triggering a shortcut or automation when your Mac starts or stops charging.


There doesn’t appear to be a trigger related to the charging status for the Shortcuts or Automator apps. Below are some great resources for both apps:


Shortcuts User Guide for Mac


Automator User Guide for Mac


If you have a moment, you can provide more details on your suggestions and recommendations for additional triggers using the follow link: Feedback - MacBook Air


Take care.
