someone can help that would be great.

I'd also like to create work flows for say a 1 or as few click as
possible to request anb UberX or UberPool pickup to a certain address.

Or also to find out the nearest Uber & Lyft, maybe at least, the work
flow could open both apps so they are loaded up fresh.

Just one double tap on the icon, and it was done.

Re: Creating a Workflow to text a Uber driver

2015-08-20 Thread Brent Harding
Wow! What can one all do with Uber and workflows? The thing you have to 
watch out for with doing it that way is if the GPS gives a slightly wrong 
location. I would probably hard code addresses in to them and keep them on 
the home screen in a folder. The hard one right now is battling the fact 
that my favorite restaurant has at least 3 entrances I know about. I always 
request them to leave me at the main front one, but I find out once inside 
that I am somewhere else.

Re: Creating a Workflow to text a Uber driver

2015-08-21 Thread Wayne Merritt
So, to repeat the original question, how can I create a workflow to
text a Uber driver after I request a trip? I have no problem in using
the Uber app to request a trip, but I want to text the driver telling
them that I am blind and ask for them to ID themselves when they pull
up. What steps would I go through to do this? I have started to create
a workflo based off of a text, but I'm not sure what to do now and
what actions to use. I have searched the gallery but the only Uber
workflow appear to be for requesting a trip.

Thanks
Wayne
