Ask EchoMom to Set Up the Widget You Need Tonight
Describe the care buttons that would save you effort and let EchoMom configure supported home-screen widget actions, labels, and safe defaults for the selected child.

Ask for the result, not the settings screen
Tell EchoMom which one-tap actions would help during your actual routine. The agent checks the widget's supported buttons and options before changing it, so you do not need to know the internal shortcut names.
- Try: “Add Bath and Temperature to my widget.”
- Try: “Put Sleep, Wake, and a 120 mL formula bottle first.”
- Try: “Remove Tummy time and add a large dirty diaper button.”
- Confirm the selected child before approving the change.
Know which buttons can be renamed
EchoMom Shortcuts is the home-screen widget on iPhone and Android. Its supported widget buttons can have a custom Button label and defaults. The Quick Actions inside Quick log have fixed names. Arrange those inside EchoMom under More > Reorder quick actions; they cannot be renamed.
Use defaults only for repeatable facts
A default can save several taps for a routine bottle, medicine, food, or diaper detail. It can also create a wrong record very quickly. EchoMom should ask when an amount, medicine, or other important option is missing rather than guessing.
- Use a short Button label that a half-awake caregiver can understand.
- Prefill only details that are true most of the time.
- Create two versions of the same action when two repeatable defaults are genuinely useful.
Test one low-risk button
After EchoMom saves the widget setup, add or refresh EchoMom Shortcuts on the phone's home screen. Tap one low-risk action, then check Calendar for the child, event type, time, and defaults before relying on the widget overnight.
What to remember
- The agent configures EchoMom Shortcuts widget buttons, not in-app Quick Actions.
- Ask for a supported action and include a default only when it is usually true.
- Test the widget once because tapping a supported button can record immediately.
