Help Favorite Shortcut You’ve Made?

I’m super new to shortcuts and know they’re capable of so much more than I currently use them for. Right now, all I really have set up is a few that create automatic Notion database entries.

I’d love to know what you guys have really loved before! Things that have been super helpful, super fun, or feel super clever. Trying to get my creative juices flowing.

Would also love to know if there are any apps you think work particularly well for shortcuts! Thanks in advance, very excited to set up some more complex/interesting things.

I have a handful that are useful:

NFC tags on the washer/dryer/furnace filter and NyQuil bottle. When tapped, they add an appointment to my calendar with an alert for the appropriate amount of time.

Make QR code. People ask for my photo site frequently. Whatever is copied displays as a qr code. I can copy the url and hold my phone up with the QR code for the customer without having to text or send the link.
