There's a handful of ways to trigger a shortcut to run:

- Manually via a home screen app icon - A Share Sheet action (good for manipulating links or images, etc.) - Automation event (time/schedule based, NFC tag scanning, or a HomeKit accessory changed)

It just depends on the context and the purpose.

Just looked through the Shortcuts app, it's impossible to deduce context and purpose :D

I do hope they improve this. Even as a tech person, I looked at this and went: nope, no idea what it is, it's intended purposes, or any useful use cases.

BTW. I did finally figure out that the shortcuts my Audi app added can only be used by saying their name exactly, and they will trigger via Siri :D Searching for them doesn't work. "Details" menu item (menu itself is hidden behind long tap) is unavailable etc.
