myTunes by @johnvoorhees is a good example of the new Everyday Shortcut category we introduced as part of the Automation April Shortcuts Contest yesterday. It took just 6 actions to fuel a 24/7 personalized music video channel.

Flexible Shortcuts actions from multiple apps can lead to some powerful combinations.
With Play by @mactanaka, Downie from @charlieMonroe, and @getchannels’ virtual channels, I created myTunes, an automated 24/7 music video channel for @AutomationApril.

JSON key/value pairs are easy to parse with Shortcuts using Get Dictionary from Input and Repeat with Each actions.
Here’s an example of JSON with ‘name’ and ‘email’ keys. The first repeat loop extracts the names, splits them by spaces, and records the first names as text.

Shortcuts can run shell commands without having to open Terminal.
Inspired by this tweet by @lukeholder, here’s a two action shortcut to test your Mac's network connection: icloud.com/shortcuts/feb5b67…
