Leave a Review Pushcut
Almost perfect. But failed at one thing.
Tested it on my phone and it worked great, I was able to trigger shortcuts using the URL. However, when I moved the server to a dedicated device, device specific shortcuts didn’t run properly. For example, I have a shortcut that disconnects all airplay speakers from my device and set playback to my device. This runs great when server is on my phone, but when the server is on another device it runs that shortcut on the server device. That device isn’t playing anything though so the music is still playing through the speakers from my phone.Show lessGreedy Developer
This app fills the need for working notifications from shortcuts, but like most apps these days uses a subscription service model. If this was a one-time $20 purchase I'd gladly pay but I'm not going to sign up for ANOTHER subscription. App is limited to only three notifications in the free tier which is pretty greedy on the developers end. If I can find another app that fills this need I'll be switching right away.Show lessDeveloper Response
Hi, We're sorry to hear you're unhappy that certain features in the app require a subscription. We offer a variety of pricing options (https://www.pushcut.io#pricing), including a Lifetime option that includes unlimited notifications. Unfortunately, we incur ongoing server costs to support these features and so we are forced to limit what is available in the free tier. If you have any questions, please do get in touch with feedback@pushcut.io.Great for connecting Lambda with Shortcuts
This is the only reliable way I have found for invoking Apple Shortcuts from Alexa/Lambda. I have Automation Server running on an old iPhone 6s that wasn’t being used. Running for several weeks now with no issues. I use the api url to execute the shortcut from an Alexa Skil Lambda function. Pushcut allows the shortcuts to run without human interaction, which was one of the problems with Apple’s native “Automation”. Super easy to setup and use. Well done!Show less
