Maximizing Personal Automation with Shortcuts

The key to leveraging personal automation effectively is to replace a series of actions with a shortcut. By creating a shortcut, removing the automation, and then creating a new automation, you can benefit from iOS 17's feature where it suggests running a shortcut instead of giving a blank area. This enables you to reset shortcut privacy settings, check permissions, and ensure everything is working smoothly. By manually running the shortcut to verify functionality before linking it to automation, you can ensure a seamless process. If issues arise, debugging options include inserting notifications between actions or using the logger for shortcuts app to track and analyze data effectively.
