Trigger Alfred Remote from iOS Shortcuts

[snoblenet]

I've created two Alfred Remote workflows:

 

Remote 1. wake (WOL) Mac and tell Music.app on Mac to use AppleTV for AirPlay

Remote 2. tell Music.app to stop music playback and stop using AirPlay

 

I'd like to create two workflows in iOS Shortcuts:

 

Workflow 1: tell Apple TV remote app to wake Apple TV, tell Alfred Remote to run Remote 1, make iTunes Remote the active app in iOS

Workflow 2: tell Alfred Remote to run Remote 2

 

How can I?

I know this is an old topic, but +1 for this feature request! I think having an x-callback-url might let us accomplish something similar as well.

Same. I use it to set my macs to sleep or to lock them. Would be nice to have this as a shortcut as I would use it a lot more often.  

 

Having to open the remote as an app in itself means that i only use it when I have to as it takes too long and requires too many steps.

Implementing some integration with Shortcuts would remove that extra step and then give the user more of an “immediate” remote functionality.
I’d personally use it a lot more!

 

cheers!
