User level: Level 1 (19 points)I want to disable shortcuts notifications every time I run small shortcuts I have created in MacOS.
There is no shortcuts tab in the notifications menu, and there is no “Notify When Run toggle” anywhere in sight.

You’re not overlooking a setting. On macOS, Shortcuts doesn’t appear as a normal app under Notifications, and Notify When Run is an automation setting, not a general setting for shortcuts you launch yourself.
Open one of the affected shortcuts and expand its actions. If an action has Show When Run, turn that off. Also check that you don’t have a Show Notification action in the shortcut, since that action specifically creates a system notification. → Use the Show Notification action in a shortcut on Mac – Apple Support
If what you’re seeing is the system banner simply saying the shortcut ran, I don’t see a supported global switch in macOS 26.6 to disable those. If you post the exact text of the notification, that would help tell which type you’re getting.

Thanks for the answer!
I checked, but neither "Notify When Run" nor "Show When Run" is in the shortcut settings.
I’ve updated to the latest OS, but the issue persists. Apple’s new Shortcuts assistant suggested toggling Do Not Disturb mode on and off. Aside from being a lame workaround, turning off the Focus mode triggers another notification on screen.
It seems Shortcuts will always trigger a notification for now, so I’ll submit some feedback to Apple about this.
Cheers,
