Shortcuts integration
Hello everyone!
Are you thinking of integrating support for the Shortcuts app in the iOS and macOS versions (to offer the ability to open a particular item for example).
Every day when I arrive ...

3 years agoI have a shortcut that I use whenever I'm sending a private link, which automatically replaces the https:// portion with the onepassword:// direct protocol mentioned above. In 1PW 7, the "Copy Private Link" option opens the standard iOS Sharing dialog rather than how version 8 simply places the link on your clipboard, which allows me to then select my Shortcut and end up with the link I want (see below).
Instead, I would now have to paste the copied link somewhere, select it, and hit Share to do the same thing which is definitely more of a hassle. Could we get the standard sharing dialog back?
Per @chadseld's request for other uses of potential integration with Shortcuts, I have several.
I regularly interact with SSH or various REST APIs through Shortcuts, providing API credentials which I'd love to be able to retrieve from 1PW. I envision being able to right click on an entry in 1PW to copy its UUID, and then passing that UUID to 1PW from Shortcuts to retrieve the secret during execution (obviously after 1PW authenticates me).
Being able to programmatically create new 1PW entries would also be huge. I have Shortcuts which use APIs to create accounts for web services, or connect to a Mac via SSH and create new user accounts, and allowing me to create new 1PW entries similar to how 1PW CLI can but using variables generated during the Shortcut's run (such as Vault, Template, Username, Password, etc) would save me a ton of time manually putting all this info into 1PW.
On the Mac, a lot of this could be accomplished within Shortcuts by running a bash script that invokes 1PW CLI, but since there's no CLI option on iOS this limits things dramatically. Shortcuts integration could essentially almost be "1PW CLI for non-developers", allowing regular users the ability to interact with 1PW in a powerful yet still user friendly way. It would appeal tremendously to the Shortcuts community as well since there's currently very poor support for managing sensitive data, leaving many users saving secrets in plain text within a shortcut or using very complicated work-arounds involving encrypting info using javascript libraries which are not at all user friendly.
