Shortcut Action - Find Albums
The Find Albums action lets you search for albums across your libraries using a variety of filters. This is one of the most flexible ways to locate specific albums in a shortcut, since you can combine multiple filters to narrow down results and sort them in different ways.
You will typically want to include a Library ID filter to specify which library to search in. Use the ID property of a library returned by an action like Get Libraries, Choose Library, or Get System Library. If you don’t include a Library ID filter, the action will search your system photo library.
Filters
You can combine any number of these filters to narrow down the results.
| Filter | Comparisons | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Library ID | is | The library to search in. Use the ID property of a library. |
| Album Type | is | The type of album (regular, smart, folder, etc.). |
| Name | is, contains | The album’s name. |
| Photo Count | is, less than, greater than | The number of photos in the album. |
| User Created | is | Whether the album was created by the user (as opposed to a built-in album). |
Sorting
Results can be sorted by the following properties, in either ascending or descending order:
- Name
- Photo Count
