Import Actions from your Device

Future release

This only applies to macOS.

Shortcuts has a local database consisting of the actions installed on the device, including any actions from 3rd-party apps.

Importing Actions

To use the actions for an app, use the following syntax of either the base bundle identifier (e.g., com.apple.shortcuts) or name in /Applications/.

#import 'com.sindresorhus.Color-Picker'
// or...
#import 'Color Picker'

For instance, to import the standard Shortcuts actions, use:

#import 'is.workflow.actions'

Keep in mind, there is not currently a way to tell if a parameter is required, so you must specify a value for each parameter. To give an empty value, use nil.

Searching Actions

Actions and their types should now be defined. To use them, look for them using the --action= argument.

# File with imports
cherri file.cherri --action=appname

This should show the actions defined for the app. Search them individually to see their enumeration types.
