Automation in shortcuts not working

I have been using automation feature for quite sometime. However, now, some of the automations are not automatically triggering but shows notifications for permission. This holds true for both location-based and time-based triggers. I have turned off 'Ask before Running' button. But still shows on notification. Kindly help.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Shortcuts automation not triggering with accessibility shortcut I found an issue with shortcuts and an automation not triggering properly. I have an automation set up so that it opens the shortcuts app immediately after the settings app is opened, as a deterrent of sorts. However, if you access settings through the accessibility shortcut found in the control center (swiping from the top of the screen), then it doesn’t activate the automation whatsoever. I don’t know any way to fix this, and wanted to report it and have it fixed. Any idea on how I’d do that? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Leave / Arrive shortcut automation issue Hey, I created an automation with some “lights tasks” after leaving home. Even though the automation is being recognized (eg. change of location seems ok when I leave home) for it doesn’t automatically run, but it requires an action (tap) by me at the notification (?) It’s kindly noted that in the Leave / Arrive automation, there’s nothing such as “ask before running”, as it is in the other automations. And solutions? Thanks.

Automations … just kidding! Why have an automation tool that doesn’t allow you to actually automate? Apple Developers, I get that you are trying to protect users by placing restrictions on the type of automations that support “run without asking” but it defeats the whole point of having an automation. *** Please design a better way to protect users! *** Perhaps you could: 1) warn users of the risks of enabling “run without asking” 2) display a warning when an automation that is set to run without asking is triggered. This could reiterate the risks and give the user time to manually cancel the action 3) display a list of past automation executions for users to see (maybe in Notification Center) and provide an option to disable future iterations 4) have intelligent warnings for frequently triggered or higher risk automations similar to the warnings for app location tracking 5) have a setting to enable advanced automations. This way the current behavior could be the default and users would be required to take an additional step to enable the creation of higher risk automations
