Hi,
I often ask siri to "call xx on speaker" while getting ready to work etc.
Is it possible to create a shortcut so that - when I say a trigger word, it automatically calls a contact on speaker, without me having to carefully say it out aloud every time?
Tried the shortcuts app but couldn't figure it out.

on iOS 12.1.2
iPhone Xs

unfortunately not, it would be a great simple feature that would make a big difference.

It would also be nice to have a volume adjustment at the same time. If I’m using Siri to call someone on speaker, I almost always need the volume increased, as I’m not near my phone.
