Text Automation with Apple Shortcuts and OpenAI
detail.loadingPreview
Automate text transformations like translation, grammar correction, and summarization using Apple Shortcuts and OpenAI.
About This Workflow
This workflow leverages n8n to process text requests sent from Apple Shortcuts. It acts as a central webhook that routes different text manipulation tasks (translation to English/Spanish, grammar correction, shortening, lengthening) to specific OpenAI prompts. The processed text is then returned to the shortcut to replace the original selection.
Key Features
- Multiple Text Transformations: Supports translation (to English and Spanish), grammar correction, content shortening, and content lengthening.
- Apple Shortcut Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Apple Shortcuts for on-the-go text editing.
- OpenAI Powered: Utilizes OpenAI's powerful language models for sophisticated text processing.
- Webhook-Based: Easily callable via a webhook from any application or shortcut.
- JSON Output: OpenAI nodes are configured to output JSON for structured responses.
How To Use
- Setup:
- Activate the workflow in n8n.
- Download and install the provided Shortcut template.
- Update the Webhook URL in Step 2 of the shortcut with your n8n webhook URL.
- Assign a keyboard shortcut for easy activation in Shortcut details.
- Enable "Allow running scripts" in your iOS Settings > Shortcuts > Advanced.
- Usage:
- Select the text you want to process in any app.
- Trigger the Apple Shortcut using its keyboard shortcut.
- The workflow will process the text and the shortcut will replace the selected text with the result.
