Is there a way I can make a phone call using the number on the system clipboard of a MacBook/Mac studio that is on same network as my iPhone?
I can copy number on Mac and used shared clipboard to paste into the phone app, and hit call, but I was hoping to push single button on the Mac or iPhone to just call the number currently on the clipboard.
Any thoughts how I could get this done?
Many thanks,
J
I haven’t tested this, but if you had a shortcut on your iPhone saved to the Home Screen, perhaps it could pull the text from the clipboard, then prepend “tel:” (without the quotes) to turn it into a URL, then open that URL.
You’d probably get a confirmation dialog on the iPhone (iOS security thing) every time, so this would be two-click. If it works.
I’m not sure if the shortcut would see the number copied from the Mac, although it should.
Wow that was easy with your suggestions thanks
Functions:
1/ Get Clipboard
2/ Text - input is tel:(clipboard) where clipboard is a variable
3/ get URLs from (text)
4/ open URLs.
Works wxactally as I’d hoped from the shared/handoff clipboard on the Mac.
Appreciate the great idea - didn’t know tel: would convert to the callable number!
