trackers that can help you find your stuff, but they also work as triggers for automations. Using Apple\u2019s Shortcuts app, you can use AirTags to trigger all sorts of events when you tap them against your iPhone or Apple Watch. Here are some ideas for putting them to use.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_AirTags_as_an_NFC_Trigger\"><\/span>How to Use AirTags as an NFC Trigger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use AirTags as an NFC (near-field communications) trigger for the automations that you\u2019ve set up using Apple\u2019s Shortcuts app. This works \u201cin the background\u201d on the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and newer iPhones. Simply touch your AirTag with your iPhone to trigger the automation that you\u2019ve associated with it.<\/p>\n<p>On an iPhone X or earlier iPhone model, you can use NFC with apps and for payments, but background triggers won\u2019t work on these devices. For this reason, you cannot create a new automation using the AirTag as the input trigger on these devices.<br \/>\nYou can download <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/shortcuts\/id915249334\">the Shortcuts app<\/a> from the App Store if you\u2019ve deleted it from your device. Launch the app, tap on the \u201cAutomation\u201d tab, and then use the \u201cCreate Personal Automation\u201d button to create your recipe. Choose \u201cNFC\u201d as your trigger when prompted, and then scan the AirTag.<br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-MX532AM-A-New-AirTag\/dp\/B0933BVK6T?tag=hotoge-20\">AirTags<\/a> still perform their primary purpose of tracking your items when used in this manner, so it pays to be clever about the automations that you create. You can use cheap static NFC triggers to automate common tasks around the home, but we recommend that you tailor your AirTags automations for the items that they\u2019re attached to.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\nGreat for NFC Automations<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-img \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0933BVK6T?tag=hotoge-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/314YPlM+dcS._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for Apple AirTags (4 pack)\" aria-label=\"Shop for Apple AirTags (4 pack)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0933BVK6T?tag=hotoge-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple_AirTags_4_pack\"><\/span>Apple AirTags (4 pack)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">Each AirTag can have one NFC automation associated with it.

For that reason, many early adopters are using the beacons to find their cars.<\/p>\n<p>If that includes you, why not use the same AirTag to find you a route home? Rather than asking Siri or typing your address in manually, simply swipe your AirTag with your iPhone to run the automation and get on with your journey. You can specify your favorite app in the recipe, including Waze and Google Maps.<\/p>\n<p>You could even add additional triggers for enabling Do Not Disturb, triggering your favorite radio station or playlist, or sending a message to a loved one notifying them that you\u2019re on the move.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Actions<\/strong>: Set Do Not Disturb, Show Directions, Send Message, Play Music<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gym_Bag_AirTag_Start_Workout_Shuffle_Playlist\"><\/span>Gym Bag AirTag: Start Workout, Shuffle Playlist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730869\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/gym_workout-1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Gym Workout Automation\" width=\"419\" height=\"461\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Having an AirTag on your gym bag is a great idea if you\u2019re prone to leaving your belongings at work, at school, or on the bus. You can take advantage of the additional NFC trigger capabilities of your gym bag AirTag by using it to trigger your \u201csmartphone routine\u201d while setting up a workout.<\/p>\n<p>Using the \u201cStart Workout\u201d trigger, you can set a workout of your choice with your choice of an open or predetermined goal.

Enable Do Not Disturb mode and shuffle your favorite workout playlist to round it off.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll appreciate this one if you\u2019ve ever got halfway through a workout and realized that you forgot to record it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Actions:<\/strong> Start Workout, Play Music<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keyring_AirTag_Unlock_Your_Door\"><\/span>Keyring AirTag: Unlock Your Door<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/unlock_door.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Unlock Door with Home Action\" width=\"419\" height=\"121\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using your AirTag as a glorified keyring, you might as well do something home-related with it. If you have a HomeKit-enabled front door lock, you can trigger it using the AirTag on your keys\u2014simply by tapping your Apple Watch or iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Many <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/35875\/the-best-smart-locks-for-2021\/\">smart lock<\/a> users rely on a Wi-Fi connection or geofencing to unlock their doors, but these methods can be a bit hit or miss. Scanning your AirTag works the first time, every time. This is ideal if you live in an apartment or have poor GPS performance near your front door, which prevents geofencing from working correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that you\u2019ve set up your HomeKit-enabled lock in the Home app before you try to create this automation. You\u2019ll need to use the \u201cHome\u201d app\u2019s \u201cControl My Home\u201d action to select the lock that you want to control, and then set the action to \u201cunlock\u201d for this to work.

You might want to add a third option if you use multiple ride-sharing services. To make it so that a particular choice triggers a certain action, nest it underneath that option by tapping and holding and then dragging the action into place.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to configure the \u201cGet Directions\u201d action to fetch public transport directions to your home address in whichever app you prefer, and the \u201cRequest Ride\u201d action to do the same for the \u201cRide Sharing\u201d option.

You can use scenes to control various smart home devices at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s up to you and your current smart home setup to decide what should trigger when you enable \u201cAway\u201d mode using the \u201cControl My Home\u201d action. It could be as simple as turning a smart porch light on, closing the blinds, and enabling cameras inside the property.<\/p>\n<p>How elaborate you can get with this depends on which smart home products you have. For example, Hue and Lutron allow you to schedule lighting to turn on and off inside of their apps. You can use apps like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushcut.io\">Pushcut<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/toolbox-pro-for-shortcuts\/id1476205977\">Toolbox Pro for Shortcuts<\/a> for even more control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Actions:<\/strong> Control My Home<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bicycle_AirTag_Start_Workout_and_Ask_%E2%80%9CWhere_To%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Bicycle AirTag: Start Workout and Ask \u201cWhere To?\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/driving.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Route Journey Home with Shortcuts\" width=\"419\" height=\"547\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Bicycles are often targeted by thieves for their relatively poor security and high resale value. An AirTag hidden in your puncture repair kit or mounted on the underside of your handlebars could help locate your bike if it were to get stolen. Having an NFC trigger on your bike has its benefits, too.<\/p>\n<p>Why not set up a simple workout trigger that also asks you where you\u2019re going and fetches cycling-appropriate directions? You\u2019ll probably want a secure bike mount for your iPhone so that you can easily consult the map for this one.\u00a0Google Maps is the better choice, since Google\u2019s cycling directions are far more developed than Apple\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>You can specify Cycling with an open goal using the \u201cStart Workout\u201d trigger, and then use the \u201cShow Directions\u201d trigger to specify cycling in Google Maps. Leave the destination as \u201cAsk Every Time,\u201d and shortcuts will prompt you for your destination whenever you tap the associated AirTag.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a delivery driver or someone who relies on their bicycle as a primary form of transport, this could help speed up your daily routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Actions:<\/strong> Start Workout, Show Directions<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AirPods_AirTag_Launch_Music_App\"><\/span>AirPods AirTag: Launch Music App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730873\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/apple_music_get_music.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"AirPods AirTag Triggers Music Prompt\" width=\"419\" height=\"369\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s in-ear AirPods use a hard plastic case that has a habit of slipping behind cushions or hiding in pockets. Adding an AirTag to your AirPods case allows you to find them using your iPhone\u2019s proximity sensor.\u00a0This solves one of the biggest problems that AirPods users face, but it also opens up new possibilities for NFC triggers.<\/p>\n<p>The most obvious choice here is to start playing music of your choice using the default Music app. If you use Apple\u2019s Music app, you can trigger the \u201cSelect Music\u201d action, followed by the \u201cPlay Music\u201d action, to have the automation ask you what you want to play and then start playing it.<\/p>\n<p>To make things more interesting, use the \u201cChoose From Menu\u201d trigger to add a few apps that you might open when you reach for your headphones. This could be your favorite podcasting app, YouTube, or even a music-making app like Auxy or Garageband.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730874\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/choose_from_menu_shortcut.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Choose From Shortcuts Menu\" width=\"419\" height=\"354\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Check out \u201cHandbag AirTag Offers Ride Share or Transit Directions\u201d above for instructions on how to trigger different actions based on various menu options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Actions:<\/strong> Select Music, Play Music, Play Podcast, Open App<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golf_Clubs_AirTag_Log_Workout_Open_Scorecard\"><\/span>Golf Clubs AirTag: Log Workout, Open Scorecard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/golf.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Trigger Golf Workout and App with Shortcuts\" width=\"419\" height=\"278\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Putting an AirTag on expensive items that often live in your car seems like a good idea if you want to be able to track them.
