Attribution

The Apple Script that powers the shortcut's functionality was inspired by reddit post Shortcut for creating a new Hide My Email alias by u/b_leep's

Disclaimer

The Apple script uses macOS GUI elements and Apple may introduce breaking changes with newer updates. I will try to keep this up to date with newer macOS versions, but will not be my top priority.
