Siri & Shortcuts

App Intents are the actions iOS surfaces to Siri and the Shortcuts app. PushWard exposes two of them. They act as the signed-in user on that device, so anything they do stays on your own account. Both require iOS 26 or later with PushWard installed and signed in.

Send a notification with PushWard

Sends a push notification to yourself -- it lands on every device signed in to your PushWard account, exactly like a notification from the API. Use it to jot a quick note, hand a result off from another Shortcut, or fire a reminder from an automation.

• From Siri -- say "Send a notification with PushWard" and dictate the text.
• In a Shortcut -- add the action, then wire its text to an earlier step (a calculation, a web request, the current weather) so the notification carries a real result.
• From an automation -- trigger it on arriving home, a time of day, or an NFC tag so you get a nudge without lifting a finger.

Show my unread PushWard notifications

Opens PushWard straight to your inbox, filtered to unread notifications. Handy as a one-tap way to catch up on everything that arrived while you were away.

• From Siri -- say "Show my unread PushWard notifications."
• As a shortcut -- add it to your Home Screen, the Action button, or Back Tap for instant access to the inbox.

Building automations

Both actions appear under PushWard when you add a step in the Shortcuts app, and inside Automation when you build a personal automation. Combine them with the rest of the Shortcuts library:

• Run a web request, then send yourself its result as a notification.
• Trigger a notification on a schedule, a location, an alarm, or a Focus change.
• Add "Show my unread notifications" to the Action button for a dedicated inbox key.

For notifications driven by an external service or a server rather than your own device, use the notifications API or one of the integrations instead.
