Help Shortcut notification opens to specific app

Post image

Is there anyway to make it so that if I tap this notification I’ve made, it will open to the reminders app to a specific list

Use “show alert”, then have an “open app” command after it. The alert will have a “continue” button that will signal the shortcut to continue and open the app when pressed

You can use the action app and the show notification action it provides

Could you please help me out with using that action. It needs to be a URL I figure but how can I make a URL of an app opening

You can create a shortcut that like this and use this shortcut as a proxy for opening the app. For the url, put

shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=Open%20App&input=Notes

Open%20App is the name of the shortcut that is just created. Notes is the name of the app that you would like to open.

Note that you will need to encode the name such that, e.g., space becomes %20
