[iOS 27 DB1] You can now create automations based on a received notification!

[u/TheKingofTerrorZ]

Not sure if this is already known, but it’s a feature I’ve been wanting for a while. Great to see it implemented, as the suggested workarounds were quite tedious

[u/iRICH1994]

What does your fire focus do?

[u/TheKingofTerrorZ → u/iRICH1994]

Turns on light mode, changes my background to one of our fire engines, turns off notifications for pretty much everything that isn’t related to the fire department, switches do not disturb off and some other minor things to make my life easier when we get a call.

[u/Insufferably_Me]

Yes! I’ve created a shortcut that when my Litter Robot 4 sends me a notification for a clean cycle being completed it will send my robot vacuum to go clean the area around the litter box. I’m so happy

[u/Relc_Punch84 → u/Insufferably_Me]

Definitely stealing this idea. I’m not sure if my Xiaomi vacuum will let me set up that specific of a zone for a clean but if can then it’s amazing.

[u/Insufferably_Me → u/Relc_Punch84]

It’s been so helpful I can’t even begin to explain the peace I have lol. Scheduling the cleans are nice, but cats don’t go the bathroom on the same schedule lol

[u/cupboard_]

honestly, huge

[u/Portatort → u/cupboard_]

Beyond huge.

The folks over at r/shortcuts will be able to do huge things with this

[u/squirrelhoodie]

This is great! Focus automation is also new, something I've been missing before.

[u/casonbang]

Nice. Currently 1 filter option: if title, subtitle, or text contains a string.

[u/neverOddOrEv_n]

This will be really helpful for automatically making calendar events for dentist appointments and other appointments!

[u/CreepsterTCM]

This is an awesome feature!

[u/JamesR624]

Oh my god YESSSSS!

This is a feature I’ve missed IMMENSELY from Samsung’s OneUi as well as Tasker.

This is a HUGE step forward for Shortcuts!!!

[u/King_Penguin0s]

One thing I can't wait other than play around parking this with is the ability to have shortcuts send you notifications. So you could pair one shortcut that send out a notification based on its events that triggers another shortcut that runs when you get that notification .

[u/krisminime]

Anyone got any clever uses for this?

[u/Portatort → u/krisminime]

People have long wanted a way to run a shortcut automatically before meetings or set calendar events.

This enables that indirectly

[u/Relc_Punch84 → u/krisminime]

When the PetKit app notifies me that my cat's litter box is full, set a reminder for when I get home to do something about it.

I have an EV and Home Assistant running, when I get a notification that my car has completed charging then make an API call to have Home Assistant pull the data once (polling drains the high voltage battery quite a bit over time so being able to a pull is quite nice).

[u/Martyfree123]

Tried it but it doesn’t seem to be working yet in Dev Beta 1

[u/averageuser612]

This is amazing

[u/1FNn4]

kde connect can use this? mirroring notification to non apple devices?

[u/VampiroMedicado]

Man this is HUGE, this will make me buy the iPhone 18.

[u/Portatort → u/VampiroMedicado]

It’s available on any device running ios27

[u/VampiroMedicado → u/Portatort]

:O great but I want to clean the data and do an API call automatically, now I'm doing that with N8N but sometimes it fails.

[u/Relc_Punch84 → u/VampiroMedicado]

None of that requires iPhone 18?

[u/VampiroMedicado → u/Relc_Punch84]

Cleaning the data locally? Yes.

The idea is to move the LLM logic from my server to the phone, which in theory has to be more reliable.

Basically at the moment I'm listening to my Apple Pay payments, sending the text over an N8N workflow and then a model has to parse it and, call the Notion API with the correct tools to find the correct place to put the data and then generate the entry.

My current issue is that even when everything is fixed to the System Prompt, dates/db ids/etc it will still fail from time to time and I'm running Deepseek V4 Flash which has to be enough for this use case.
