How this automation works

Send custom GroupMe messages automatically from your iOS Shortcuts. This runs when a chosen Shortcut automation begins and sends a message to your selected GroupMe group. Great for sharing quick updates or alerts hands‑free from your iPhone. Customize the message to fit your tone.
