💡 Idea

I noticed that the ntfy iOS app lacks support for Apple Shortcuts to send notifications. I don't have a clue how those are made, but I figured out you can make simple POST requests with some web shortcuts. Here's a shortcut I often use, I set it so I get alerts when my phone goes below 20%. I'm sure there's many other applications for this as well. Therefore, I think it's worth considering adding instructions for this in the documentation.

Thanks!

There are 2 iOS shortcuts on this page already, but I'm not sure how they compare to yours: https://docs.ntfy.sh/integrations/

One of those uses a third-party app, but ntfy-ios-url-share does use pretty much the same method of sending requests it would seem.

On closer inspection, it looks like the one I just linked doesn't really work. I tried sending a message and the notification came like this. Top one is sent with my method, bottom is with the url share one.

The bottom one is just using JSON POSTing. When you send a JSON body, you need to send it to https://ntfy.domain com instead of https://ntfy.domain.com/mytopic
