# suggestedInvocationPhrase

A phrase suggested to the user when they create a shortcut.

```
var suggestedInvocationPhrase: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

The system displays the suggested invocation phrase to the user when they create the shortcut. Use a short, memorable phrase, such as “Soup time”.
