🚀 Simplify Your Morning Coffee Run with NFC
Note for Android users! This is possible for you too with MacroDroid app, it’s a bit hackier, but it can work! I could help you with it if you book an NFC expert session with our Starter Kit.
In the age of convenience, why not make your daily coffee ritual as seamless and tech-forward as possible? stick with me. This guide will walk you through setting up an NFC tag to reorder your favorite coffee for pickup from any coffee shop you choose, using the Apple Shortcuts app and Uber Eats. Plus, we'll integrate smart reminders for your day ahead using Shelpful’s AI service —all with a simple tap of your iPhone.
STEP 1: Preparing Your NFC Tags
Begin by purchasing NFC tags, you could buy a starter kit from Shelpful here (the tags themselves are cheap — this starter kit comes with a kick off call to help you figure out your automations AND 2 months of the AI Task Manager. Value is $90+ …. priced WAYYYY LESS) Place one in a convenient location where you're likely to initiate your coffee order, such as near your front door or with your keys.
STEP 2: Crafting Your Coffee Order Shortcut
Before automating your coffee order, ensure you've completed a pickup order through Uber Eats from your chosen coffee shop. This "dry run" is essential as our automation will utilize your past order for a quick reorder.
Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
Select "Create Personal Automation" then pick "NFC" as your trigger.
Tap "Scan" and hold your iPhone near the NFC tag to register it.
For the action, choose to open Uber Eats and navigate to your past orders for a quick reorder option of your favorite coffee.
STEP 3: Adding Smart Reminders to Your Routine
After setting up the coffee order shortcut, incorporate actions to send instructions to your AI task manager, like HabitGPT, for reminders or tasks you'd like to be pinged about later. Here’s how to make your coffee order even smarter:
In the same shortcut, after the coffee order action, add additional actions to send messages via WhatsApp to HabitGPT.
Set up a reminder to hydrate, such as "Remind me in 1 hour to drink water," capitalizing on the reminder that coffee consumption should be balanced with water intake.
Add another reminder for a brief meditation, "Send me a 10-second meditation idea in 2 hours," fostering mindfulness in your routine.
STEP 4: Embracing a Morning of Effortless Efficiency
With your NFC tag configured, every morning tap will not only ensure your coffee is waiting for you but also set you up for a day of well-being with timely reminders.
Leverage Every Tap: Think beyond coffee—each tap of the NFC tag is an opportunity to cue important tasks or self-care reminders. Whether it's prompting you to review your to-do list or reminding you to stand up and stretch, integrate these into your shortcut for a holistic approach to your daily routine.
