To integrate Shortcuts with AppleScript, you can leverage the app intents framework, which allows you to expose your app's functionality to the Shortcuts app. Here are the steps to get started:
- Define App Intents: Create intents that represent the actions you want to expose. These intents will automatically appear as actions in the Shortcuts app.
- Use Shortcuts App: You can test these intents by creating shortcuts in the Shortcuts app. This allows you to see how your actions perform and interact with other shortcuts.
For a detailed walkthrough on how to create and test these intents, you can refer to the session Bring your app to Siri.
Additionally, the session Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents provides insights into building and integrating app intents, which can be useful for your integration process.
