Creating a shortcut to call an internal company extension results in an invalid contact error
I want to create a shortcut that calls a number whose last four digits I dictate. It’s for internal company calls, and the last four digits are the in-house extensions. However it ends up with a error message.
- Step - Dictate text - 1234

- Step - check Show Item From List: +420 xxx xx1 234

Replace xxxxx with a real phone number. I sent the post earlier, but the Apple staff instead of providing a clue, stamped the post invalid because it contained personal information, which is not true, because I used dummy phone number for the post anyway.
