Hi all,
I use a VPN at work on my phone, generally, but it interferes with Carplay.
What I’d like to do is run the shortcut that turns off the VPN (I have set one up and it works fine) when Driving focus mode is activated.
I can’t see a way to trigger this though, and my internet searches have turned up nothing.
Any help gratefully received
Michael
Hello @EmmCeeSq
You can find this in the Automation section of the Shortcuts app.
Once in the Automation tab click on the plus button at the top right.
Scroll down through the personal automation options until you reach the focus mode section. This is near the bottom and only shows focus modes you have already setup.
Choose the focus mode and pick if you want it to run the shortcut when the mode is turned on or off. Make sure to select run immediately for it to work without you having to confirm the action before it starts.
There is also an option to run shortcuts when connecting to/disconnecting from CarPlay.
Hope this helps you to get this working.
Thanks so much for these detailed instructions!
I’ve set it up on my phone now, and I’ll try it out tomorrow on my drive to work.
Really appreciate the help, it was staring me in the face (and I have a bunch of automations set up for my home as well) but I didn’t put two and two together.
Very best
