When using Apple Shortcuts/Home-Automation you can start homey flows with a shortcut or home-automation. Normal flows work fine, but Advanced flows don’t trigger (while there is no explicit error and it seems to execute as normal within the Apple Shortcut app). I also noticed you can’t yet add a tag to an advanced flow using Apple Shortcuts yet. Does anyone experience the same or am I missing something? ---

Same issue here. I think it’s after update the Homey App on iOs. ---

Might be an issue related to the new Homey and beta app, so i reported it in TestFlight. ---

Is this really an issue or a “feature”? I mean you can have multiple flows in an advanced flow. Which one should be triggered? For standard flows it will start them, no matter what trigger is set. ---

If a feature that used to work but no longer works i would consider it an issue, or an error as others called it above. **As of current this is working again with the latest Homey updates.** Just like normal flows, you can trigger advance flows in Apple shortcuts, Google home automations or other flows within homey. This only works if you set a “Play” card because this will be considered the “default” flow to trigger. ---

Currently it seems that Apple Shortcuts is showing all (non Advanced) Flows instead of favorite Flows (like i was used to). I am in the process of creating some new Advanced Flows but it seems that these AF do not appear in the list of available Flows within Shortcuts. Therefor i can’t start AF from Shortcuts. Is this a familiar issue or a new issue? ---

Maybe you should add the start button to those new A-flows? > ![1000033754](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/4/f4057116592e1de68da0b5ecf94dfe29993c0768.jpeg) Just thinking out loud. ---

Yes! That solved the issue, thanks! I started with a card ‘when this flow starts’… ---

YW! > [@Ferry\_van\_E](#): > > I started with a card ‘when this flow starts’… That’s enough with standard flows indeed. I’m glad adding the start button helped you out!
