Creating a Shortcut

Last updated: August 20, 2025

Shortcuts in Zams make it easier to handle repetitive tasks. Instead of entering the same commands or connecting to multiple apps each time, you can create a shortcut that runs a predefined sequence of actions in one step.

Shortcuts also help organize complex workflows by grouping prompts, app calls, and database queries under a single command.
