Intro to personal automation in Shortcuts on iPhone or iPad

Personal automation provides a way to run actions based on events such as time of day, arrival at a location, or the opening of an app. A normal shortcut requires you to run it from the Shortcuts app, the Shortcuts widget, or the share sheet, whereas personal automation actions use event triggers, travel triggers, communication triggers, or setting triggers to run.

After you create a new personal automation, when an event occurs you’ll receive a notification asking you to run the automation. You can also edit a personal automation to run without asking.

Personal automation is specific to a device. The automation will be backed up to iCloud but will not sync to other devices.

Personal automation is similar to a shortcut; however, rather than being launched manually, personal automation is triggered by an event.

Create a new personal automation

You can also tap an action to add it to the bottom of the action list in the automation editor.

Tap  at the top of the actions browser to return to the Categories or Apps list.
