Using Shortcuts to create Alarms (with custom time input)

How would I set up a Shortcut to:


- Delete all alarms


Then:


- Create new alarms based on an input variable


For Example:

If I asked Siri to "Set alarm pattern for 7:00am". I would want the shortcut to take the time variable (7:00am) and use this to create a pattern of alarms beforehand (6:30, 6:45, 7:00 etc).


I am close to achieving this, but haven't currently found a way to pass a variable to the 'set alarm' action.


Any help would be appreciated!

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.3.1, 10.5” 256GB

Haven’t found out how to delete alarms

But creating alarms based of a list a bit of a pain to do but possible


1) add a “list” and fill it out. One alarm time hh:mm per row (use military time. 1pm=13:00)

2) use a “repeat with each”

3) run shortcut as is

4) add a “create alarm” and move it inside the “repeat with each”

5) set the name and the repeat according to what you want.

6) click on the time and use “repeat index” you might have to click on variable to find this

7) click on “repeat results”

8) click on “as text” (might be different but it’s the underlined text

9) scroll up to “date”

10) change “date format” to “custom”

11) change “custom date format” to “HH:mm”

Thank you for the response. I'm sorry I wasn't alerted about it at the time.


Here's the shortcut I ended up creating.

Very happy with it, other than I haven't found a function to delete all existing alarms yet, which would be great. Currently I have to ask Siri to "delete all alarms" first.


Thanks again,

Ryan
