X World 2025

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: - Shortcuts & Apple Configurator: A real-world example - App-level Shortcuts for admin workflows - Using Shortcuts in scripts and CLI - Sharing Shortcuts to end-user devices Too many admins mistakenly think Shortcuts is the tech version of a first aid kit, but session attendees will see how it's at least an ambluance, probably an operating theatre, and might just be an entire hospital!
