Luc, thanks for hosting today’s webinar; it was very useful.
Would you or one of your developers consider creating a short video tutorial for this forum that shows Luc, thank you for hosting today’s webinar; it was very helpful.
Would you or one of your developers consider making a short video tutorial for this forum that demonstrates how to use Hookmark’s actions in Shortcut.app and highlights best practices?
The basic examples are clear, but I find it difficult to go beyond simple shortcut actions. I haven’t been able to successfully pass or parse the Hookmark URL when using the ‘Create Bookmark’ or ‘Get Bookmark’ actions, among others. Some intermediate guidance on this would be very useful.
Apple seems to be signaling that app intents and actions are the future and work across the ecosystem better than ever with the [macOS Spotlight Action launcher](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/take-actions-and-shortcuts-in-spotlight-mchl4953dfeb/26/mac/26). This appears to be a good way to create automations or workflows with Hookmark Actions via a Spotlight launch action, which could also enhance Hookmark’s integration with iOS and macOS. Thanks!

I am going to post some Hookmark shortcuts here. But if you have any specific cases, please post here. And we will try to create some sample shortcuts for them.
