Pushcut Overview#

The Pushcut API enables the automation of iOS notifications with custom actions, triggering events based on various conditions. On Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create intricate workflows, combining Pushcut notifications with a multitude of services to act based on data from APIs, schedules, or other apps. Think of Pushcut as a bridge between the real world and your digital tasks, letting you know when to act and offering shortcuts to execute specific automations directly from your iOS devices.

Action Code#

import pushcut from "../../pushcut.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "pushcut-execute-homekit-scene",
  name: "Execute Homekit Scene",

    pushcut,
    homekit: {

    },
    timeout: {

        delay: this.delay,
      },
      $,
