Breeze Booth for iPad can be automated using the iOS Shortcuts app using the breezebooth URL schema. This makes it possible to do things like create a voice activated photo booth by saying "Hey Siri, boomerang GIF" or turn the photo booth on and off at certain times or when the battery level drops below a certain level.
To automate Breeze Booth for iPad create a shortcut in the iOS Shortcuts app and set the action to "Open URLs". Set the URL to breezebooth:// followed by one or more URL parameters to activate touchscreen commands in Breeze Booth for iPad or to set the event name or event strings. Give the shortcut a suitable name (e.g. "Boomerang GIF") so that Siri can run the shortcut when you say its name e.g. "Hey Siri, boomerang GIF".
