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.
CKingCK ~ Presumably some automations are viewed by Apple as a potential security risk if allowed to run completely automatically. They are triggered automatically, but will ask you for confirmation before actually running the automation:
Enable or disable a personal automation in Shortcuts on iPhone or iPad

When you run an automation in the Shortcuts app on your iPhone, it may require approval from the user before it can be executed. This is a security feature that is designed to prevent unauthorized access to your device or sensitive data.
In particular, when an automation involves accessing or modifying sensitive data, such as your contacts, location, or camera, the Shortcuts app will prompt you for approval before allowing the automation to proceed. This helps to ensure that you are aware of what the automation is doing and have the opportunity to approve or deny access to your data.
Additionally, if an automation is triggered by a shortcut that has the "Ask Before Running" option enabled, you will be prompted to confirm that you want to run the automation before it is executed. This can help prevent accidental or unintended actions from being performed by the automation.
Overall, the approval process for running an automation is an important security feature that helps to ensure that your data and device are protected from unauthorized access or misuse.
