Automated Text Refinement with Apple Shortcuts and GPT

This n8n workflow enables seamless text automation using Apple Shortcuts integrated with OpenAI’s GPT models. The process begins when a user selects a piece of text and triggers a custom shortcut, which sends the text to an n8n webhook. Depending on the user’s selected action—such as translating, correcting grammar, shortening, or elongating—the workflow routes the request through a ‘Switch’ node, directing it to the appropriate OpenAI API call. Each call processes the text accordingly: translating it to Spanish or English, correcting grammar without altering content, or adjusting the length of the text. After processing, the workflow responds by replacing the original selected text with the refined version. This automation is highly useful for writers, students, or professionals who frequently modify and improve textual content on the fly, streamlining their editing and translation tasks directly from their keyboard. The setup includes customizable shortcuts, making it easy to incorporate into daily workflows for faster, smarter text management.
