Quick Project Creator

Add new projects to any collection in seconds – choose a template, pick a collection, and your project is created with all the structure you need.

Build It Yourself

As the creator says:
“I have multiple collections for projects, as I like to have a documents per client, one for work and one for personal projects. Adding new projects usually required me to find the right document, add new item and finally adding a template inside. This is now entirely handled by my shortcut.”

Step 1 – Get Your Craft API Keys

Enable the API on each Craft document that contains your collections. Copy the API URL and key for each.

Step 2 – Download the Shortcut
