You can use Siri Shortcuts to automate common tasks, and trigger them with a tap or by asking Siri. Overlap has support for the following actions: "Convert Date", and "Find Time".

You can use these actions as your building blocks to create simple shortcuts just for Overlap, or you can combine them with actions from other apps for more advanced automation.

## Convert Date

This action converts a given time and date to one or more of your chosen time zones. You could use this as a way for Siri to say the current time for several time zones you're interested in, or as an input to another action.

### Example shortcut
