Étape 3 – Configure Your API Endpoint

Open the shortcut in the Shortcuts app and add your Craft API details:

• Your Craft document’s API URL
• Your API key (the 11-digit code)
• Optionally, your published website page if you want to use that instead

Save the shortcut to your home screen for quick access.

Étape 4 – Choose Your Input Method

The shortcut gives you four options when you run it:

Use File in Clipboard – Copy anything (text, images, PDFs, screenshots) and the shortcut processes it immediately.

Choose Photos for OCR – Open your Photos app, select images, and the shortcut extracts and formats the text.

Choose a File from Folders – Browse your files and select images, PDFs, or text documents to convert.

Text Prompt – Type or paste text directly, or ask the AI a question and it will answer instead of proofreading.

Étape 5 – Let Apple Intelligence Work

The shortcut sends your content to Apple Intelligence (or ChatGPT 5.0) which:

• Proofreads and corrects spelling
• Formats everything as Markdown
• Generates a catchy title automatically
• Keeps the original meaning intact

Étape 6 – Watch It Appear in Craft

The formatted content is automatically sent to your Craft document via the API. Open Craft and see your beautifully formatted note ready to use.
