Trigger quickadd capture or macro from Android outside of app?

[Fr00t]

Would it be possible to trigger a capture or macro from a widget or using Tasker on Android?

Ive set up a simple capture that appends to a section in my daily note, and would love to be able to easily trigger this from my homescreen

Thanks!

The way that I do to trigger commands outside obsidian is to use URL schemes.

There is a plugin called Obsidian Advanced URI that creates URL from commands.

For a QuickAdd command, you will have a URL like this one

obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=XXX&commandid=quickadd%253Achoice%253Ae3e29dd7-a7b7-4c82-af60-a17900bc59a1

I hope it helps 🙏

Thats just what I was looking for! Where can I get the choice ID?

Is this documented anywhere? Tried looking but just found the API-docs which I didnt understand

You have to install the plug-in Advanced URI and open command palette to find the commands to create your own URL !!!

Let me know if it worked for you

Worked perfectly. Set it up as a task in Tasker and added that widget to my homescreen. Thanks a lot!

If anyone else is confused (like me) and doesn't see the command in the palette, you need to make sure your quickadd is added to the palette by clicking on the lightning bolt toggle in settings:

There are no tooltips anymore and it's hard to tell what this toggle without them.
