Hello so I have a problem with any type of home assistant shortcut I get an error when I run it outside the local network but the shortcut actually works. For example if I run a fire event shortcut the fire event is actually done but the shortcut still returns an error, same with running scripts or action. However when I do it from inside the local network the shortcut is performed and doesn’t return an error. I use Tailscale to access the network from outside and when I perform the shortcut the Tailscale is already connected. What could be the reason for this?
#Shortcuts “Error” from outside of local network only

My first guess is that the connection is too slow and therefore this error is returned. What happens if you do the same thing via an API call?
By an API call you mean the call service? If so I tried and it gives these two errors and doesn’t actually send the call like the other shortcuts
No, API call meaning directly talking to the appropriate URL via REST.
But if calling the service directly doesn't work then this is a networking problem, you'll need to find some other people using tailscale and see how they fixed it.
This isn't an issue with the iOS app, it's an issue with your external connection to HA.
