When attempting to execute the shortcut via WhatsApp automation, I'm encountering a prompt that requires me to manually select either "Send" or "Cancel." Is there a way to configure the shortcut to circumvent this prompt and automatically dispatch the message without user intervention? If so, please provide guidance on the necessary steps.
On the shortcut action, there should be an option to show more. It is a greater than sign in a circle (>). There you would see an option to toggle show when run, you need to turn that off.
I have downloaded your "Birthday Messages" and it works perfectly per see! However I cannot get it working as an Automation without being prompted to Send the iMessage when it is "awoken"... I am sure the problem is on my side, but could you share the "code" for how to get the iMessage sent without any user intervention? Many thanks in advance for your help and support here :)
On your automation, there is an option to let an automation run without user confirmation. If you go back to your automation, tap on the trigger (it should say the time of automation), and ensure “run immediately” is checked (instead of “run after confirmation”)
There is no good way to automate that with shortcuts. But… you could setup a focus mode that will always be enabled your phone. While setting up the focus mode you can filter that certain contacts. In that case, when the focus mode is enabled, the call from a filtered contact will go to voicemail automatically.
Hi, First of all thanks for the video it’s very helpful. But now i want to sent anniversary messages to my family and friends but the challenge is i am unable to choose anniversary date because its not showing, if there any way to choose anniversary date from contact please share 😊
Hi..it will be great if u can show on how to send photo with schedule on whatsapp..i been trying it but it always trigger to choose contact everytime..
There is an error in the automation because when we send the message it doesnt go automatically, It asks whether to send a not and then it keeps cycling probably because my a ddress book is too big
Maybe you can try disabling the show when run toggle on your send message action. Either way, I didn't expect it to be used this way but I am guessing if a shortcut tries to spam your entire address book, ios probably has guard rails against that.
Hello! Thank you for the tutorial, this is very much helpful and highly appreciated. This worked for me. For the people who are getting a prompt to Send/Cancel, towards the end of the command, I.e. the command right above the “End Repeat”, if you tap on the (>) you’ll find “Show When Run” toggle it off. @GeetMadan - the issue I’m experiencing is I’m unable to send Happy Birthday message with names to different recipients… example: HBday NAME… if SRK and HR two different people have birthday on the same day, the message is sent like “HBday SRK HR” to both the recipients and not separately “HBday SRK” “HBday HR” Please advice
@vishalthimmaiah4955 thank you for the kind words and addressing a concern other people have brought up. . For the names being repeated, you will need to start the repeat action right after the get contacts action. Then have the send message action. Use the repeat item variable to get the phone number and first name. Imgurcom/a/fKg3rQ2
Could you build a automated away script (in best case based on calendar entrys)? So when receiving a message on Whatsapp and your calendar is at that time blocken reply with "sorry, i''m on a meeting....".....or based on a focus setting
64 :) How to auto-forward the contents of an SMS when I receive it from a company (that has no contact number, but only a phrase in its all incoming SMS messages like "DIGITAL CHANNEL") to a whatsapp contact as a whatsapp message? Thank you.
It would be a different automation. You will need to create a message automation based on content. In the automation itself you would be able to add the send message action from WhatsApp.
@@GeetMadan Yes we tried a lot of different combinations but still no success :( It will be informative and very helpful if you can show how to do it in your coming shortcuts video, thanks.
hi developer, what about I only need it to be sent automatically as any message, but birthday greetings, I mean just any simple message, is that possible?
Hi I need to forward waybill SMS to another person automatically using ios shortcut. Recipient will be in contact but sender will not be fix like GT-EWAB or GD-EWAB or MT-EWAB ETC., it’s not fix. Need a solution or automation
@@GeetMadan Yes - always GM-EWAB or GS-EWAB like. last five digits are common but first two digits will be vary..i will send you screen shot. please share your email id..
@@krishnamoulivisinigiri6399 It is possible. You would need an automation for every sms received and then you will filter them based on sender. Shortcuts has an action to use regex and that will allow you to forwards only the relevant messages. let's discuss it in detail on discord. hit me up there (link should be on my channel page).
Automation is not working when my phone is locked and also I;ve set up 23 automated whatsapp messages daily but only 13 are being sent, could you help to fix this
I am not sure why that is. 23 seems like a lot. Are you doing all of that in one automation or do you multiple automations sending only a few messages.

Hello, is there a way of personalizing each message by including the recipients name?
Yes, so in the message action where you say happy birthday you just need to include the variable for the first name
Hello Thanks. Could you explain bit more. How to include variable for each name

I am actually working on something like that but it wouldn’t work with WhatsApp. It will only work through iMessage and regular messages.

Great video
I’m wondering if there is a way to disable power button when the iPhone is locked ? Can shortcuts do that?
Thanks
Thank you!
Regarding power button, shortcuts can’t disable it. The only button it can affect is the action button on the iPhone 15 pro models.
I my friend, Don't work WhatsApp, over 2 or more contacts
That's not the intended purpose 😅
64 how do I send the same message to multiple people on WhatsApp?
Not the purpose of this shortcut. Please don't use it to send spam or mass texts 😅
I tried but it said invalid recipient, contact hasn’t turned on iMessage. I thought it should be sending using whatsapp and not iMessage
Same error for me as well
may be that number not available on whatsapp
