The arrival of Apple's new app Shortcuts got us very excited. Oh, the endless possibilities. Let's start with the basics. Here's how to use Apple's new Shortcuts app to start new transfers on your put.io account:

First, make sure that the Shortcuts app is downloaded on your iOS device. If not, you can download it from here.

Now, it's time for adding the Add link to put.io shortcut from here. As you can see, you'll need to create a token at put.io to use this shortcut.ย 

If you already know how to obtain a token, great! If not, worry not. ๐Ÿ˜ŒWe'll show you how to do it step-by-step.

How can I get a token from put.io?

1- Go to Account -> Developers and click on Create New App. Here's a link that'll take you there directly: https://app.put.io/account/api/apps/new.

2- Now fill in the boxes. You can name the app however you like.ย 

3- After saving, click on the key icon next to the app you just created. It'll take you to the Secrets page and here, you can copy the token created for you.ย 

Now, back to adding the shortcut. Enter the token into the text area that says "Enter your put.io token". Click on Done and now we're ready to add some transfers!ย 

Just long press on a magnet link or a downloadable link, click on Share, select Shortcuts, and then choose Add link to put.io. ๐Ÿ‘

Psst! You can also check out @danieltbratt's shortcut.ย 

Enjoy! ๐Ÿ™Œ
