Trigger a command with a Shortcut via Siri
-
You can run commands on your computers with Siri using a Shortcut. Here's how:
-
Download the Shortcuts app on your iOS device.
-
Open this link or scan this QR code from your iOS device:
-
Fill in the computer, trigger, and token fields. The params field is optional.
-
In the shortcut's settings, tap "Add to Siri" and record your personal phrase.
Here's a Youtube video showing how it works:

hi -- how can this be used to display or say the result?
here's a command that works on alexa:
osascript -e 'tell application "Music" to set result to "This song is " & name of current track & " by " & artist of current track & " on the " & year of current track & " album " & album of current track' | sed 's/^/"/;s/$/"/' | xargs -I{} ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/sendresult.sh {}when created with the QR code, the last step is "Get contents of TEXT". result: nothing. I added "Show result <contents of URL>" (defaults to that parameter). result: "no authorization header was found".

Can you help me get started? I tried your command it doesn't seem to work. Is there something I need to do in the Music app first?
