Here is an updated shortcut.

Edit: I did create an Automation to feed the body of an email to my shortcut however I can’t make a copy of an Automation and send you the link.

Here is how to create your own Automation.

  1. create a new Automation for “when I get an Email…”.
  2. Provide a Sender and/or Subject.
  3. Select Run Immediately option (IMPORTANT).
  4. click Next to get to the next screen.
  5. click New Blank Automation.
  6. on next screen click Add Action.
  7. in search box type Run Shortcut/then select it.
  8. in Run Shortcut action press Shortcut and
    supply the shortcut name from the list
    (Book Info 2.0).
  9. within the Run Shortcut action press > and add
    Shortcut Input to the input parameter (this will “pass” the email text from the Automation to the Shortcut).
  10. Automation is complete/press Done.

2 notes:

if used, the trigger for selecting the email is something in the SUBJECT line (see #2 above) of the email and NOT in the body of the email.

if you use my shortcut you must first modify the shortcut by using Shortcut Input (the text of the email from the Automation) instead of the current Text info (which I had used for testing purposes).

Hope this helps.
