Send Placid image to Pushover from iOS Shortcuts

How this automation works

Send a generated Placid image to your devices via Pushover. It runs when an iOS Shortcuts automation starts, asks Placid to render the template you chose (you can provide layer or output overrides at install), then sends the generated image URL and a preview to Pushover. Great for instantly sharing social images or previews created in Shortcuts to your phone with Pushover.
