Create appointment in Calendar with Caller name or phone number

iOS
1

Hello, did someone know, if is it possible to create a shortcut with automation, which can be mapped to the Action button, and which will works like this during the active phone call:

  1. if I press the button, there will be created new appointment in Calendar app with a text “Call to + name of the contact from active phone call”.

I would like to use this for call reminders with someone :slight_smile:

I don’t believe so. it would need to use the phone app call log and as far as I know there is no access to that by Shortcuts.

I guess the closest you could do would be to use a screenshot and try and OCR the caller name from the call screen to be able to feed that into the calendar event creation.

If you have lots of calls it may even be best to do it in batch at the end of each day from a screenshot of the call log.

If you don’t ming me asking, how does a calendar event now correlate to a call reminder? I’m sure I am missing something obvious here, but events and reminders are different things.
