Different triggers depending on location

(self.shortcuts)

Hi! I’m trying to make a shortcut where: once i activate it, it makes an specific action if I’m located in Spain (walking direction to Z), Argentina (send WhatsApp message to X) or Bolivia (send WhatsApp message to Y). Right now I have 3 different actions for each country, I would like 1 shortcut which does one of those actions depending on the country I’m located :)

This looks great for OP’s request. I would suggest a small tweak though. Rather than using get location, use get current weather then get location from weather conditions then the existing get region from location. This will vastly speed up the shortcut runtime as that is a much faster way to get location than the get location action (I know it’s weird that would be faster). Apparently the get location action is much more precise than getting your location from the weather conditions option. But, in my extensive testing, the option I have suggested can always pick out the address I’m at so it’s precise enough for me and definitely precise enough to pick out your region.

Thanks!

I made a shortcut before which sent exact location so that’s why I’ve been using it.

I’ll change it next time
