Re: Mark on the Shortcuts App, It Really Does Work
Hi Ryan, The output of one action is the input for the next. So my guess is that you would need to have the Dictate Text action first, and then the one to post to Facebook.

Re: Mark on the Shortcuts App, It Really Does Work
I like the Shortcuts app, but I never figured out how to do what I really wanted to be able to do with it. That is, to do a post on FaceBook. I tried to create a shortcut with the phrase of post to FaceBook. When I searched in the list of commands, I found something that would post text to FaceBook but I couldn’t get it to get dictated input.

RE: Mark on the Shortcuts App, It Really Does Work
And for those who like the Google Assistant you can actually make a shortcut and record some phrase like "Hey Google" or "Launch Google Assistant" and SIRI will open the Google Assistant app and it will listen instantly. So, essentially, you push the home button to get SIRI to listen and in my case say "Hey Google" and you hear an app opening and a second or two later you hear the tone indicating Google is listening. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M. Taylor Sent: Sunday, February 3, 2019 3:48 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Mark on the Shortcuts App, It Really Does Work Hello Everyone, You know, up until today, I could not fathom why I would ever use the shortcuts apps. As an F.Y.I., For various reasons, I tend to reboot my beloved 8 Plus, a minimum of once, per day. Also, before rebooting, I close any and all running apps. As I always launch the same three apps at restart, the Watch app, Fit Port, and Over Drive, I decided to give Shortcuts a try. To my amazement, it took only moments to create a simple shortcut that launches all three of these apps, at the same time, by either telling Siri to, "Launch my favorite apps," or by tapping the My Favorite Apps widget located on the Today screen. Very, very nice. Please note that the name of the widget, located on the Today screen, reflects the name of the newly created shortcut. The key to creating this Shortcut is to search for the [Open Apps] action in the Shortcuts app. The rest is truly self explanatory. So, if there are multiple apps that you always launch at any given time for any given reason, try creating your own favorite apps Shortcut. The Shortcuts app, It really does work.
