Shortcut URL to get to Hide My Email in System Preferences (macOS)

[lucasrant]

I'm trying to create a shortcut in macOS to open the Hide My Email subsection SystemPreferences -> AppleID -> iCloud -> Hide My Email, but I can only get to the iCloud subsection with:

x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.systempreferences.AppleIDSettings?iCloud

Has anyone been able to figure out how to do this?

You'll need to run an AppleScript to navigate to the Hide My Email screen once the iCloud screen opens.

The shortcut found here does a little more than what you're asking for, but it should give you an idea of what needs to be done in the AppleScript.

Thanks! This worked!

I used this to make this shortcut that works on iOS and macOS Ventura, it's a combination of the two shortcuts listed below. (I think it might not work on versions prior to ventura)

Hi @lucasrant,
Thanks for your time, but there is an issue with it.
When System Settings > iCloud window is already open (which contains iCloud+ colored storage stripe), launch this shortcut opens Private Relay settings window instead of Hide My Email.
Please take a look of it, I hope it's easy to fix.

Works great! I was looking for this exact thing.

I had created one in Keyboard Maestro, but this one is better to me. It would be nice if Apple would create a URL that would get right to it, eliminating the hassle, but you've worked it out nicely. Well done!

Has anyone found or scripted one that also saves the associated password used on a website? I was thinking of combining both Hide My Email and Password Shortcut, but I am not as good at things like that as others so figured I would ask first.

Hi PND,
I was also experiencing the same issue as you but in my case it would open the family storage quotas page instead of the private relay. I was able to fix your issue by changing the index on the UI Element in the Shortcut editor to "4" as pictured below. If in your case, you are not part of a icloud family you would set the index to "3". Compare my icloud settings page to yours to see if there is in fact that difference.
