1. Dictate Text
Function: Prompts Siri to listen for user input. This is the follow-up input or command the user gives after the first interaction.

What to Update: Nothing required. However, you could customize the spoken prompt before this block (in Shortcuts) to ask something specific like “What’s your next instruction?”

2. Set Variable – First Input

Function: Stores the user’s dictated text into a variable named First Input so it can be reused later (e.g., in a webhook or logic condition).

What to Update: Ensure the variable name here (First Input) is consistent if reused later in webhook payloads or conditions.

3. Speak – “Got it, working on it now!”
Function: Provides voice feedback to the user, confirming the request has been received.

What to Update: Optional. You can customize the tone/language, e.g., “On it, boss!” or “Processing your command.”

4. Get Contents of URL
Function: Sends the user’s input to an N8N webhook.

URL shown: https://n8n.cloud/webhook/yourN8Nwebhookgoeshere
What to Update:

You must replace this URL with your actual N8N webhook endpoint (from the Webhook node in your N8N workflow).

Make sure that:

The method is set to POST (in N8N and Siri Shortcuts).
You’re sending the data properly (i.e., either as a query param or in JSON if required).
Tip: Match this with the webhook node ID or path in N8N. If your Webhook node expects a field like inputText, your request must include that name.

5. Speak – Contents of URL
Function: Speaks the response received from the webhook.

What to Update: Ensure the webhook is actually returning a spoken-friendly string like “The weather in LA is sunny” or “Task has been created.”

6. Speak – “Say Yes to continue.”
Function: Asks the user to say “Yes” if they want to proceed to the next phase.

What to Update: Optional — customize for branding/personality. Examples:

“Would you like me to keep going?”
“Continue this mission?”
7. Dictate Text
Function: Listens for a new voice response (e.g., “Yes” or “No”).

8. Set Variable – Second Input
Function: Saves the new dictated input into a second variable called Second Input.

9. If Second Input is Yes
Function: Conditional logic that checks if the user said “Yes”.

What to Update:

Make sure your condition block in Siri Shortcuts is case-insensitive or supports slight variations like “yes”, “Yes”, “yeah”, etc.

10. Run Shortcut – continue-upgrade 1
Function: If the user says yes, this runs the next Siri Shortcut.

What to Update:

Update the Shortcut name if you’ve renamed your continuation workflow. Also, make sure it’s installed on the device and shares any necessary variables.

11. Otherwise → Speak
Function: If the user says anything besides “Yes,” the shortcut ends gracefully.

Speak – “Thank you, have a great day ahead!”
Speak – “Super Siri, powering down”
What to Update: Customize farewell messages to match tone or user experience goals.

Developer Notes: N8N Setup Recap
Webhook Node in N8N:
Must accept POST requests.
Should parse First Input and return a spoken result in plain text.
Test with sample input first via Postman or N8N UI to verify expected return.

1. Replace Placeholder Credentials in Each Node

• Open each node in your N8N workflow (e.g., Webhook, Pinecone Database, AI Agent, etc.).
• Update any authentication fields, API keys, or email addresses with your real credentials.
• For example:
  • In OpenAI or external APIs: insert your valid API key.
  • In any HTTP Request node: confirm the endpoint, headers, and payload are correct.

Tip: Hover over the node’s warning icon to identify missing or invalid credentials.

2. Test Each Node in the Flow

• Use the “Test workflow” individually or click on button at the bottom of the editor.
• Trigger the workflow via your configured your Apple device.
• As each node runs, check for green checkmarks (success) or red errors (failures).
• If any node fails:
  • Reopen the node.
  • Review the input/output data.
  • Fix any credential, formatting, or logic errors, then retest.

3. Add a different Tools

Customize this workflow by adding tools that the AI Agent can access. This will help your shortcut in your device be able to handle a lot more automations than just talking back and forth.
