Here's how it works:\n\nCreate two shortcuts in the iPhone Shortcuts app:\n\nName one \"Check-In\" and the other \"Check-Out.\"\nWithin each shortcut, use the \"Get Content from URL\" action to call the Webhook. Set the Header Direction for \"Check-In\" or \"Check-Out\"\n\n\nNow, whenever you enter or exit the specified location, your iPhone will automatically record the time in your Google Sheet. This creates a seamless and accurate log of your work hours or time spent at a particular place."
