Shortcuts: using current time

Hi,

I'm trying to create a shortcut in the shortcuts app that includes an event that is happening by the time the shortcut is triggered.

I created a variable called 'Current time' and tried to use the 'Find Calendar Events' action with it,

But I couldn't find a way to choose an event that is happening while the shortcut is triggered.

I only saw one that find it by its start/end time.

Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks.

Shortcuts Ask for Date and Time with Today's Date and Default of 6:00 pm In Shortcuts if I ask for the date and time I can set the default to "Current Date" which puts in the current date and current time. Is there a way to have the default be the current date but make the default time to be something else like 6:00 pm? Thanks, Mike

When will Shortcuts be able to automate a task at a specific time and date? I merely want to use shortcuts to open a webpage daily at a specific time. Currently though; the shortcuts app has no "automation" section. Are we just waiting for an update; or is there a way to automate a task at a specific time of day?
