2FA to Universal Clipboard Automation

It occurred to me a few days ago that I could use Shortcuts automation to smooth over something I'm sure we all do fairly regularly: copying 2FA codes incoming over SMS from iMessage.

It works! Now every time Twitter sends me a confirmation code, all I need do (unfortunately) is tap the run automation notification to confirm and the code is automatically copied. Since I have Universal Clipboard enabled, I can instantly paste said code on devices other than my iPhone.
