More about this action
The account's ID always; its email only when the token has the user.email:read scope. Needs no other scope, so it's how a token is checked.
Inputs to fill in #
This action has no input fields. You can name and save it after choosing the action.
What comes back #
In the action editor, open Output → Returned Value to choose fields for your shortcut. These are the response fields described by the app; a service may omit an optional field or return an empty list. JSON File contains the full response.
| Returned field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
id | string | The account's ID — usr…. |
email | string | Only with the user.email:read scope. |
scopes | array | Only for an OAuth token, never a personal one. |
Run it from Shortcuts #
- Give the action a recognizable name and tap Save.
- In Apple Shortcuts, add Shortcutify’s Execute Action and select the saved action.
- Supply any Param or File slots you bound in the inputs, then run the shortcut.
If the result is unexpected, open Logs in Shortcutify, select the run, and inspect this step’s inputs and response.
