[1.4.0] Add a new shortcut to create a new transaction without having to open the app

Budget Flow💡 Feature Requests

Since iOS 17, there is a new automation that allows you to execute a shortcut as soon as you pay via Apple Pay. It would be quite useful if there would be a new shortcut for Budget Flow with which you get the paid amount as input parameter and can automatically create a new transaction without opening the app.

Example:

    Can’t seem to use the “Shortcut Input” from the Apple Wallet Transaction like Name, Amount and Card or Pass. Or am I doing it wrongly?

    The Shortcut Input doesn’t change the the Amount variable selected.

      Hi @rahjinoh
      your shortcut looks correct to me, but I'm not sure why it doesn't show the correct variable name. However, this is a known issue and happens on my iPhone as well. Maybe it is a bug in the shortcut app itself, because for example, I also entered the merchant via the variable in the notes field, and the variable name is displayed there correctly (but not in the amount field). Nevertheless, even if the variable name ("Amount") is not displayed in the amount field, the shortcut should still work. As I said, it looks like this on my iPhone as well and it works fine :)
