Bixby Capsule - Interacting with Existing Application?


I was thinking of creating a Bixby Capsule that interacts with the Google Keep (or Samsung Notes) app, and adds stuff to a list/new note. Is this possible?

If not, does anyone have any idea of what else would work if I wanted to store stuff in a list? Don't tell me I would need to have a public web server listening for input and I'd store stuff with the assistance of that. Ridiculous overkill IMO. Thanks for any info!


Solution

  • There are two ways that might help fulfill the task:

    1. If the App has an API, such as Uber, you can use the API in capsule. Please read more about REST API in https://bixbydevelopers.com/dev/docs/dev-guide/developers/actions.js-actions

    2. In case of a local app on the device, you would need to check if that app allow android deep-link and use punch-out function with a payload uri. Please read more in https://bixbydevelopers.com/dev/docs/reference/type/result-view.app-launch


    Actually... Current built-in Bixby already support add/delete notes to Samsung Notes by the utterance "Add a note that [content]" and remove all notes by "delete all notes".

    Please give it a try.
