Run the script, enter your phone number.
Now as soon as OTP is recieved you will also get a notification from shortcuts app. Long press it and click on run. It will start OTP auto read process.
Use the steps given below to enter your preferences.
Now whenever the script session expires, it will send the notification described in step 13 and repeat the process to trigger OTP auto read.
It is recommended that you set a different notification tone for this notification to be able to distinguish.
Hopefully you get the slot
