Shortcuts are a great way to get even more out of Tyme by automating tasks or passing data to Tyme or from Tyme to other applications.
Tyme provides several shortcut actions that are added to the list of actions in the Shortcuts app when Tyme is installed on your device.
Just search for Tyme to get a list of all available actions.
You can also trigger shortcuts directly from Tyme for various actions. Take a look at the Shortcut Triggers.
Below you find a complete list of shortcut actions Tyme currently supports.
Most actions can be chained. For example you can pass the result of the Get Projects action into the Set Project Values action to bulk edit projects.

Shortcut Triggers
You can run shortcuts when certain triggers occur in Tyme. Just open the Preferences > Plugins > Shortcut Triggers and activate the ones you need.
Most triggers send an input to the shortcut that you can use to process the data.
For example the Started a timer trigger passes the ID of the new time entry to the shortcuts, that you can use to get details of the time entry,
its task or other values by chaining your shortcut with the Get Time Entries shortcut.
