Fetching the second calendar date

Shortcuts
1

I’m teaching a weekly class that of course is interrupted during the year with holidays and non-teaching weeks. All classes are in my calendar.

I would like to write a mail with class material with the date of the next class in the body of the mail and I would like to write the mail days before the class and send it straight after.

Essentially today (Aug 14th) I would like to write a mail for Monday 19ths class that says “These assignments are for Monday 26”

I have made a limiter for calendar event selections but, as these classes are not always weekly I can’t figure out what the procedure is to get the date of the next class (Monday 26ths instead of 19th).

I hope I’m expressing myself clearly and I’ve attached the calendar filter I have so far.

Adjust date doesn’t work since it would give the dates of holidays as well.

Somehow I figure my limit should be 2 events and then I would flip them and limit again to 1.

Thanks,
Thomas

You can limit to 2 events and use the Get Item from List action to get item at index 2

Yes, that’s the function! Thank you, @gluebyte

I do wish that the translated versions of the Shortcuts app had English aliases for search.
