Open and create a shortcut using a URL scheme on Mac
The Shortcuts URL scheme allows you to open the app, create, run or edit a shortcut, and interact with the Gallery in the Shortcuts app. URL schemes can be used anywhere a URL can be used — your own app, in a web browser or in the command line.
Open Shortcuts using a URL scheme
Open the URL
shortcuts://
to launch the app to the state when it was last used.
Create a new shortcut using a URL scheme
Open the URL
shortcuts://create-shortcut
to jump to the shortcut editor and create a new shortcut.
Open a specific shortcut using a URL scheme
You can launch the app to a particular shortcut in your collection.
Open a URL with the following structure:
shortcuts://open-shortcut?name=[name]
and provide the name of the shortcut in the name parameter.
