Steps A and B
Steps C and D
When your roster changes
Run it again. Here, Wednesday moved later, Friday was cancelled and a Thursday shift was added:
The calendar after one run: Wednesday is now 17:00–22:30 and Friday is gone. The new Thursday shift is the following week.
Good to know
Why Safari? Can I use Chrome?
Only Safari can pass the roster page to a shortcut. Chrome and other iPhone browsers only share the link, so log in to myJob in Safari.
It says it can't run scripts
Go to Settings → Apps → Shortcuts → Advanced and turn on Allow Running Scripts.
Will it change my other calendar events?
No. It only manages events titled “MCD” that have a shift ID in their notes, within the roster weeks on the page. Events added by the old Chrome extension are recognised, so nothing is duplicated.
What if the page didn't load properly?
It checks that the number of shifts it read matches what the roster says. If they don't match, it stops without changing your calendar. Reload the page and try again.
Is my data safe?
Everything happens on your iPhone. It reads the page you already have open and writes to your calendar. Nothing is sent anywhere, and your login isn't stored.
It stopped working
myJob may have changed its page. You'll see “Couldn't sync your roster” and your calendar won't be changed. Please report it on GitHub.
