iOS Shortcut for Markdown Doc link?

You might want to take a look at this thread.

No UUID passed on to Shortcuts?

As a workaround, you can use DTTG’s get-itemlink x-callback-url action to get the URL of the currently selected document. You can still set up the shortcut as a share sheet action, just ignore the input and start working with the result of the get-itemlink result… [image]

As I understand the UUID (the unique document number) isn’t passed from DTTG to Shortcuts since version 3 due to incompatibility with some apps when a document is shared to those apps. But you can have Shortcuts ‘pull’ the UUID from a selected document, i.e. you first need to open that document in DTTG.

Be aware I use this workaround on multiple devices and noticed older devices require split screen to work well (I presume due to lack of memory). Newer devices can run the Shortcut with the x-callback without split screen, but you might just try for yourself whether you require split screen. But be advised, if it doesn’t you might need to restart the device to get things back in working order.

After Shortcut has obtained the UUID, you can flow it into a variable and obtain the document title with the UUID as well. With both the title and UUID you can construct the markdown in a text containing the variables of both. I presume you can share the result immediately to the app where you want to store the markdown.
