Automatic outdoor walk in shortcuts app failure.

Hi there

Please try this

• Delete and Rebuild: Many users report that location- or workout-based automations in Shortcuts become glitched and need to be deleted and set up fresh from the shortcuts app
• Check Action Compatibility: Ensure the action inside the shortcut is a direct background command (like "Start Workout" for an Outdoor Walk) rather than an action that tries to open a visual app screen on the watch face.
• Use Siri Voice Command Instead: As an alternative that rarely glitches, you can use Siri directly on your watch by raising your wrist and saying, "Start an outdoor walk

Hi, Delete and Rebuild was the way forward. It works. The new shortcut was created in the shortcut library page> Apple Watch folder. In the Apple Watch folder I pressed +, and told the shortcut the following: "Start outdoor walk after leaving home". Then it asked me to verify my home address, assigned a random colored, shortcut icon, and the maps icon. That was it. So far, the outdoor walk workout on my watch begins, automatically, about one block away from home. Also, I created two other outdoor walk automations after I leave work and the gym. They're running perfectly. That's very agentic and exciting.
