Still a good question though!
For example, what I'm trying to setup is forward specific SMS messages to a specific Telegram channel (or just do a HTTP POST, worst case scenario), and for those flows, Apple require user interaction to run automatically.
Give it a try yourself to setup a automation like that :)
What are some examples of how you can trigger it without user interactions?
I looked through the docs and found nothing about triggering stuff when receiving SMS text messages for example.
Can’t speak to the specifics of what you want to do WRT Telegram.
But as a programmer, it’s not something I’d be attempting on-device.
Unless of course it absolutely had to be done with my own main number that is tied to my eSIM….
But at that point I’d begin questioning my life choices that led me to this situation! ;-)
Everything is working as a "Shortcut", the only thing missing is Apple allowing me to run this shortcut automatically without user interaction. Which for some annoying reason is missing. If I just can get rid of the step where I absolutely have to interact with the phone to trigger the "automation"...
