I have a shortcut called Send Me an Email that I found somewhere. Whenever you were on any web page this shortcut would send you an email of the URL. It worked fine for years. Now it fails in Safari with the following error:

The web content could not be loaded because your privacy settings do not allow this shortcut to load external web content. You can change this in the Privacy tab of the shortcut's settings.

The Privacy Tab for this shortcut seems to allow it to use Safari.



The newer Email Myself shortcut only emails the web page title, not the URL.

How do I get this shortcut working again?

Turns out that Safari now returns the entire web page when you select the "Share" icon rather than just the URL. So, to make this work you have to extract the URL and send just that.

So, you need the following actions:

Get URLs from Shortcut Input
Send URLs to me@mac.com
