Bixby Capsule - Interacting with Existing Application?

414 Views Asked by At

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!

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.
