ThingsThings gains automation superpowers today, with a huge update for Apple Shortcuts. We’ve also prepared a gallery with some great shortcuts for you.
Check it out: https://culturedcode.com/things/blog/
Scott@things super glad you guys are over here. Love the things app. Daily life changer. 🔥
Chris Masterson@things This graphic 👌
Drab@things fantastic update.
David Haydl@things this is so cool, thanks!!
@DavidHaydl You’re welcome!
Peter MurdieThis is a fantastic update if you’re into Shortcuts, lots of new potential uses. The example shortcut of shifting tagged “Work” to the next day is an instant win for me. Will need to get back on the shortcuts wagon to work out what else to do!
@things great update
David@things glad to see new stuff coming. Could have bet focus is on Things 4 by now instead of feature releases for 3 🙂
Vampire@things I need to check this out.
@things hey I have tried a couple and they are not working? App and and IOS up to date.
bryan@Scaf @oughtnot If you’re still having trouble after a reboot, please drop us an email: http://things.email
Phil Bowell@things The new actions aren't showing up on my Mac. All up to date and restarted as well.

Yilei Yang 🥭@things this looks so good 🤩
Michael Knepprath@things This update makes me unreasonably happy.
@things great job all around from implementation to documentation and samples. You are the best ! 💪

@things It isn’t possible to use the new actions for Shortcuts, the application does not recognise them
@joseruig Are you running Things 3.17 and iOS 16? If so, perhaps try a reboot.
long fong yee@things So much love to you guys for continuing to improve Things. Thank you!
Lauren@things time to try out Things again! Game changer for me, for sure.
Mattia Marchesini@things congrats for the release! Big fan (and user) since V1 here!
Samuel@things this is super cool!
Trying to set up the inbox rule scanning for todos sent by mail to things. I get an error "AppIntents.EntityPropertyQueryError 2" in the line "Is Inbox [INTENT PARAMETER]". Unfortunately, Shortcuts doesn't show more details.
@samueljohn Yeah, sadly this is a quirk in Shortcuts. If you restart Shortcuts it should go away (failing that, try a reboot). Hopefully it gets a little more stable in the future!
@things thanks for your reply. Will do so.
Ben Kirton@things Creating a template for an on demand project and it seems I can’t create a to-do item and assign it to the project I am currently creating. Is that expected?
Headings can reference a variable like “Project” but to-dos must be assigned a project that already exists?
Is that expected?
Will I need to “find” the project I create by name or something and then add it?

@bjkirton Hmm, no, you should be able to target a new project directly within the shortcut on the fly. If you’re still having trouble with that drop us a line and we can try to help: http://things.email
@things Done, but couldn’t attach a screenshot so it’s here.
Project has “if you want to add to-do’s” but there is no way to pass the variable I can find.
… Found it. Seems you need to use “with quick entry” option for To-do to select current project.
That is not in any of the docs, or clear from the interface.

@bjkirton You should be able to right-click where it says “choose” next to Parent and pipe in the variable that way.
Jonathan@things Hi 👋🏻. I love the app! I was wondering if you were planning on adding these features:
- Location based items
- Being able to invoke the quick entry menu without having the app running
- Saving Projects as templates that we can pick when creating a new project
- Shared and real time collaboration on procjects without having to share our whole things cloud account
Thanks 🙂
Sterling Anderson@things Is there any way to change a To-Do in “Today" to "This Evening" via shortcuts or via URL scheme? Having items that are due after a certain time of day automatically go to “This evening" is the one tiny feature I wish you had.
@things Ah! never mind! I'd still like it to be built in to the app, but I can automate it!
@strlng Yes, you can use an automation in Shortcuts after midnight to move any items with reminders after a certain time to This Evening. Looks like you’ve figured it out. Thanks for letting us know you’d like this in the app!
