In the Add to Siri tab, click on Edit in Shortcuts and you will be redirected to the Apple Shortcuts app.Expand the Open Project menu and in the Project Name field, either enter the name of the desired project to be opened, or select the Ask Each Time option if you want Siri to ask each time which project to open. Click on Done and then X to save your changes.
Can I show Project Status using Siri Shortcuts on Mac?

Yes! Activate Siri by saying Hey Siri (or by clicking a shortcut for Siri), followed by the phrase Show Project Status.

Say Yes (or click on the Yes button) and Siri will read your project status, as well as display the status on your device (per your settings).Note: You must have an open project in the app for this Shortcut to work.
