Using shortcuts to create an Event and several Reminders at intervals PRIOR to the event

[drfierce]

I’m looking to create a Shortcut to help me automate a series of tasks when I give a presentation.

TLDR: I want to create an event and reminders which are due at different dates PRIOR to the event

Here’s what I want to do:

Create an Event (I use Fantastical but could do in Calendars as well)
Create several Reminders (in Reminders/Goodtask)

1. A reminder to “Review Presentation” one week prior to the presentation date
2. A reminder to “Run Presentation” two days prior to the presentation date
3. A reminder to “Charge and Pack Laptop with Dongles and Charger” one day prior to the presentation

I’m a shortcuts newbie, but playing around with the app I can easily create the reminders on the day of the event, but I can’t figure out how to backwards off the date of the original event. Is this possible?

You can use the Adjust Date Action for this, see example below…

Thank you Roger that was the ticket!
