Scanning receipts

I scan many receipts every day. I have to go into Files, navigate to the 2022 Taxes folder, tap the button at the top right, select scan, point to the physical document, scan, save button, then confirm location, and it’s saved.


i want to create a Shortcut button that takes care of all the setup, opens the scanning function of Files, then scans the document to the pre-programmed location. Simple eh? Nope.


Can’t figure out how to do any of this with Shortcuts. I can do this in Xcode with Objective C and Cocoa. I just don’t get how to create anything useful in Shortcuts. I can’t seem to “get” the paradigm in Shortcuts. Any hints appreciated to just trigger Files to go into document scan mode (or maybe that’s not how to do it?)
