Shortcut to sync so we can use automations to keep iPhone and iPad sync in the background.

Feature Request: Background Sync Shortcut for Paste

I would like to request a new feature for the Paste app: the ability to have a Shortcut that triggers background synchronization between devices. This would allow users to set up automations to keep their iPhone and iPad clipboards continuously in sync without needing to manually open the app or initiate a sync.

Currently, syncing requires user action, which limits the seamless experience of having unified clipboards across devices. By enabling a Shortcut or background sync trigger, we could:

Automate Device Syncing: Users could create Shortcuts or automation routines that run periodically, ensuring their iPhone and iPad remain up-to-date with each other.
Improve Workflow Efficiency: Automatic syncing in the background would save time and avoid interruptions, especially for users who rely heavily on Paste for cross-device copy and paste operations.
Enhance Multi-Device Use: With background syncing, transferring clips between devices would become effortless, increasing the overall utility of Paste.

This feature would integrate perfectly with iOS Shortcuts and Automation, allowing for a more powerful and seamless experience for anyone using Paste across multiple Apple devices.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!
