Example - Passing a dictionary to a shortcut from macOS

I knew you could pass arguments but never found a use, until recently.

Code: Select all

shortcuts run "pass to indigo" <<< '{"message":"indigo.device.toggle", "objectId":"1252158401", "Key Location":"Indigo API Key 2"}'

MODERATOR'S NOTE: amended post title to include "Example"

That's an excellent tip. Thanks for sharing it! I'm going to add your example to the docs. I'm also going to amend the title of your post to include "Example" to make it easier to find.

One note for folks who may try to run this command from within Indigo: you can't use pipes from the Indigo "Run Shell Script" action item. There's a bit of a hack listed in the docs to get around this. It involves using a shell script as an intermediate step.
