Further Adventures with Shortcuts & Jamf Actions

With more than half of macOS 26's time in the WWDC25 Keynote devoted to Shortcuts (and Spotlight), Apple's continued emphasis sees more and more admins recognising their value in device management workflows. This session showcases solutions that leverage Shortcuts' ability to address old problems in new ways, or provide entirely new capabilities. Too many admins still think Shortcuts is the tech version of a band aid, but session attendees will see how it's definitely a first aid kit, probably an ambulance, and might just be an entire hospital!
