Why does iMessage recipient show as green when sending message thru Siri Shortcuts? I'm trying to use the built in "ETA" shortcut recipe. I add my wife as the recipient and run the shortcut. When it shows me the message for confirmation, her name is green, not blue.

When I actually send the message and look in the Messages app, I now have two different conversations for her. One is our historic message thread, the other has only this single message sent by Shortcuts.

Why is this happening, and how can I stop it?
I had the same issue. I solved it by typing in the phone number rather than using the contact.
