Here’s an example shortcut:

The full URL is `http://homey.local/api/app/com.internet/testbericht/12345`

The flow trigger that goes along with it looks like this:

So the `testbericht` in the URL is the event name in the trigger card. The `value` tag will contain `12345` (the last part of the URL).

You can record a Siri phrase in the Shortcuts app by pressing the “two switches” icon (below “Done”), so you can trigger this shortcut using a custom phrase (however, for some reason, that’s not working for me right now, but apparently it’s still a bit buggy since I’m not the only one for which it suddenly stops working).
