Published in iOS Shortcuts 2 mins read

You can integrate Siri with Huckleberry by creating custom shortcuts through the Shortcuts app on your iOS device, allowing for hands-free interaction with Huckleberry features.

Enabling Siri Voice Commands for Huckleberry

Setting up Siri commands for Huckleberry leverages Apple's built-in Shortcuts app, providing a convenient way to perform actions or access information within the Huckleberry app using just your voice. This can save time and make tracking easier, especially when your hands are full.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Huckleberry Siri Shortcuts

Follow these instructions to create and customize Siri voice commands for your Huckleberry app:

  1. Open the Shortcuts App:
    Begin by launching the Shortcuts app on your iPhone or iPad. This is Apple's automation tool where you can create custom workflows.

  2. Create a New Shortcut:
    In the Shortcuts app, tap the + button, typically located in the top-right corner of the screen. This action will initiate the process of building a new shortcut from scratch.

  3. Add Huckleberry Actions:
    Select the Add Action button. In the search bar that appears, type "Huckleberry" to quickly find and browse the available actions that the Huckleberry app offers for integration with Shortcuts.

  4. Choose Huckleberry Functionality:
    From the list of Huckleberry actions, select the specific functionality you wish to automate. For instance, you might choose an action to log a feeding, a diaper change, or to view specific sleep data. The available options will depend on the Huckleberry app's Shortcut support.

  5. Customize Your Shortcut:
    Further tailor your shortcut by adding more actions or setting specific parameters for the chosen Huckleberry action. This could involve pre-filling certain fields (e.g., a specific feeding amount) or chaining multiple actions together to create a more complex workflow.

  6. Save and Name Your Shortcut:
    Once you've configured the shortcut to your liking, save it. You'll be prompted to give your shortcut a unique and memorable name. This name will serve as the voice command you use with Siri (e.g., if you name it "Log Feed," you can say, "Hey Siri, Log Feed").

After saving, you can simply activate Siri and speak the name of your new shortcut to execute the programmed Huckleberry action hands-free.
