Actions 3.0

This is version 3 of my now annual Action Button contextual shortcut! This is an action button shortcut that changes behavior based on the context in which you press it. It will check the currently open app, the current WiFi (or current location), the current focus mode, and the orientation of the phone each time you press the button. Then, it will check for shortcuts to run for that configuration, and run any that are appropriate. These configurations are called Actions. So for example, an Action might be "When Focus mode is Work and Orientation is Portrait, run shortcut 'Open Calculator'" Or "When Messages is open, Wifi is Any, Focus mode is Personal, and Orientation is Any, run shortcut 'Text Wife ETA'" Or "When Email is open, WiFi is Home Wifi, Focus mode is Work, and Orientation is Portrait, run shortcut 'Email Sign-on to Boss'" Or Default Action: Flashlight The magic of Actions is that it auto-categorizes and checks all possible Actions in order for each variable. When you press the button, it will check all Actions that require the app that's open when you pressed it first. If it finds no matches, it checks all Actions that require whatever WiFi you're connected to. If it finds no matches, it checks Focus modes, then Orientation. If it can't find anything you can set a default shortcut to run. The beauty of this is that different Actions have different priority levels. In the examples above, if I press my Action button when I'm working from home and my email is open, it will check the Actions with an "Email app" requirement FIRST, and find the one that sends my boss an email (the third Action on the list above), ignoring the first Action in that list that my conditions technically also meet. But if I press my action button when my email is open but I'm NOT home, it will check and disregard that same Email Action and then filter up to the first one, where it runs my shortcut "Open Calculator". But if I press it when my email is open, I'm NOT home, my "Personal" focus is on and my orientation is Face Up, it will check the Email Action, then the Focus mode Action, and, upon finding nothing that matches, hit the Default Action, which toggles my flashlight. You're essentially setting a default behavior for the Action button as a whole, then override behaviors for different orientations, then further override behaviors for Focus modes, then locations, then apps. And it will check for those behaviors in reverse order, so your most unique and specialized situations get checked for first, getting more and more general until you hit a valid Action or filter all the way down to your default catch-all action. Adding Actions is as simple as creating or moving new shortcuts to the "Actions" folder in your Shortcuts app, and A few other notes: 1) By default, Actions 3.0 works with WiFi as checking your WiFi takes less time than checking your location - but you can switch to Location if you like. It's a tiny bit slower but more versatile, as you can set locations that you're not also connecting to WiFi. 2) You can change the order in which the different variables get considered. If you would prefer to check any Actions that require WiFi BEFORE you check Actions that require a particular app, you can do that! Just note that changing variable priority will reset your current shortcut configurations. (You can even technically use both WiFi and Location as active variables, but you only get 4 at a time) 3) When running new Actions for the first time, you'll often get prompts asking you to allow saving files to your shortcuts folder in the Files app, or running other shortcuts, etc. Just hit always allow when these pop up and they shouldn't annoy you again. Actions 3.0 is reengineered from the ground up, making it much simpler and more intuitive than either of the previous versions. If you checked those out, be sure to check this one out too, it won't disappoint! Thanks for downloading!
