I’d like to say “hey Siri, set alarm” and have my best app open and set the alarm. I’ve figure out how to make a shortcut to open an app, but I want it to open and then complete a task in the app. How can this be done?

Thanks

The app has to support Siri shortcuts. An app that supports Siri Shortcuts can suggest you create a shortcut based on your common actions or one you just did (I think). Basically it’s down the app developer to help you out there.

I want to make a Siri / Voice Shortcut for Keynote to open an specific presentation.key file. I can do that but found that once I run the shortcut the .key file duplicates itself on the iCloud Keynote folder (presentation.key 1 - presentation.key 2...3...4 and so on).
