How does Shortcut work for Solar Energy teams?
Shortcut works for Solar Energy teams as the engine behind a DeskFerry agent built around the workflows that actually consume your week.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent reads context from Shortcut and the other systems your Solar Energy operation depends on, runs the routine work in the background, and surfaces only the cases that need a human decision.
- 02
Reply to every solar inquiry with @Shortcut
AI creates, assigns, and updates tasks across your workspace based on triggers from connected tools — no manual project management overhead.
- 03
Calculate savings from the utility bill
Teams typically see higher pre-qualified appointments once the agent is in production.
- 04
Propose the right system
Setup is no-code, every action is auditable, and the agent is scoped to the rules your Solar Energy team defines — not a generic template applied to your business.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Creates a new group in the shortcut system with customizable properties. this endpoint allows you to set up a group with a unique mention name, display name, optional description, and various customization options. use this when you need to establish a new team, department, or any other collective within your shortcut workspace. the created group can include members, associated workflows, and visual customizations like color and icon. this endpoint is particularly useful for organizing your shortcut workspace structure, facilitating team collaboration, and streamlining workflow management. note that while member and workflow associations can be set during creation, they can also be modified later using separate endpoints.
Create iteration
The createiteration endpoint allows you to create a new iteration in shortcut, which represents a time-boxed period for completing a set of stories or tasks. this endpoint is crucial for teams using agile methodologies, enabling them to plan and track progress over specific time periods. use this endpoint when setting up sprint cycles, planning releases, or organizing work into manageable timeframes. the endpoint requires essential information such as the iteration's name and date range, while also offering options to add followers, associate groups, and attach labels for better organization and tracking. it's important to note that while multiple groups can be added via the api, the current web ui only displays one group association. this endpoint should not be used for modifying existing iterations; instead, use the dedicated update endpoint for such changes.
