Using a Bluetooth trigger in an automation created with the Shortcuts app. iOS16.1.2

I want to run a specific app when my phone connects to a specific Bluetooth device. It is easy to create such an automation with the Shortcuts app, but there is an unavoidable manual confirmation required before the app will run.

This defeats the object of an "automation". I just want the app to run when the device connects.

Is there a workaround to avoid the annoying confirmation?

Thanks.

masteroftheobvious ~ I'm not aware of a workaround, but consider asking on this Shortcuts sub-Reddit — it has many more Shortcuts experts than here on ASC.
